"conductors know how to fucking fly" is a phrase that deserves to be in a book.

[Gabriel Gallardo]

Did some one see Lars Von Trier's Melancholia?? The openning and final scenes, with this Prelude... They are so powerfull!

amazing music for an amazing movie

[Anthony Hernandez]

Hopelessness that's what this music reminds me of.

[Chuck Schuldiner]

I hope you're not refering to rock or metal, because that music is listened because of the same reasons than this music.

[shadow dancer]

It's almost as if different people find different things interesting and beautiful. Crazy, right?

[Wourghk]

Some (read: most) people don't listen to music for harmonic or emotional significance. If it doesn't have a kick and snare driving the beat, and lyrics telling them what to feel, they can't get into it.

[Iris Holleman]

I never understand why people are finding this kind of music boring, and then get back to their own music which really is boring as hell because it is all based on three chords

[Shiro Kotoko]

ルバートすごいです。情熱的すぎる演奏。今まで聴いたこともなか­ったです。心をとらえて離さない。好きな演奏です。メータさん、­すてきです。

[Akord18]

Dj Ritchie Swagner at his best !

[DeadSnowWhite14]

and he was right, we can understand Wagner's music only if we understand his true european spirit. He was one of the greatest last european.

[Revenunt]

"Wagner argued, frequently using traditional antisemitic abuse, that Jews had no connection to the German spirit, and were thus only capable of producing shallow and artificial music. According to him, they composed music to achieve popularity and, thereby, financial success, as opposed to creating genuine works of art"

Amazing how such beautiful music can come from such a bigot...
