Pure as gold

[TheSorgen]

That crescendo/decrescendo in the soprano solo kills me every time

[bggrthnslicedbread]

I wonder if Angels in heaven are singing this right now...

[dorkraable]

[Felttheneedtocomment]

The chord at 1:18 never fails to make shivers go down my spine...

[pilchard96]

Only a true genius can make dissonance shiveringly beautiful. This is incredible.

[gergatron300]

tis a beautiful tune but i feel that it is more beautiful on LSD

[TheEric1203]

[congelatore]
