this is the most beautiful way a heart can be ripped out of a chest

So beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes even after all these years of hearing it.

I clicked on this with hardly any knowledge of classical music, and not knowing what to expect. From the first second I decided it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard

Didn't he have a car accident in which he suffered a brain trauma and die years later during brain surgery?

Why did Ravel have to die? Well, everywhere he went he carried his own French cigars and wine. He called them his "civilization". While I do not presume to sit in judgment of him, from what I know of the gentleman the best part of him--his musical talent--lives on in his compositions. The rest of him is tinged with regrets as is the case with many composers.

Danny Elfman's Mars Attacks theme music sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like HUGE SWATHES of this utterly fantastic work ... Ahhhh! nothing new under the sun and all that, or so it is said. And yet the Ravels and Debussy's of this world ... now THEY really do seem to have known all about creating. This ballet delivers the most wild and beautiful sounds ...

Too beautiful....

It is hard for me to believe this came from the same guy who wrote Bolero.

This is just gorgeous!! I could listen to this all day. I love the color that the woodwinds bring-- esp. the piccolo flourish at around 1:30

@MetroDuroc good post. I always felt the same thing. Ravel and Debussy set a mood for humanity to live by. Laid back, serene, in awe of nature—sort of like the afternoon of a faun.
