I thought I knew what good music was,until I became a fan of classical music this year.Other music I feel in the broad sense of the word is on a "sensual" level,but this,this elevates the heart and soul to other domains/realms that perhaps in a funny way of putting it,fills almost to the very ends of our most capacious minds,it would seem.I now think of the more popular genres as just "orchestrated noise," if you get my drift ?

Beethoven agreed - apparently he esteemed Handel above all other composers: 'He was the greatest of us all - I would kneel, head bowed, before his tomb. Go to him to learn how to create great effects, by such simple means'.

If only leaders of the world and all her citizens together

Lend their ears to Handel, in `Largo

What a world it will be

Peace in our hearts

And food for our souls

A moment with God.

[Jade1944]

Perhaps the most beautiful piece of music ever written. For so short a piece its emotional impact is enormous. Words cannot do it justice.

[TheHenrylaycock]

Comments here are very telling - is it the fate of our beautiful planet to be laid waste by empty greed, the nihilist pursuit of profit? The beauty of Handel's peaceful statement tells us that this demonic project must NOT be permitted to succeed.
