arvo pert was my personal favorite of the night...

[eetrib]

besides this, of course..

[haida2]

to me it somehow looks like the conductor isn't wearing pants

[brotherstan28]

No I have not seen it. I will say though, listening to this again - a month later, a second time - its pretty damn good.

I think its lack of hasty movement or progression left me bored the first time. But it really is genius in its inherent simplicity.

There Will Be Blood...

[Confinedtobedposts]

This is one of the most beautiful things ever written.

Makes me feel like I'm exploring ancient ruins of an shipwreck very, very, deep underwater.

@myCAGS I very much enjoy orchestral music, but it's downside is the amount of arrogant, ignorant snobs the culture generates, who go around commenting to videos of the music.

ugly

@myCAGS Dull and unimaginative? I guess you don't know much about pop music.

[ItsWhatever24]

there are some parts in this video where the lighting makes it looks like the conductor is just wearing underwear hahaha

[stpcreepstp]

you always have the choice between liking something and not liking something anyway, so you can't tell me you have never forced yourself to like something, even if you didn't realize the extent you did it. you really have a lot of nerve talking down to anyone

[koyaanisqatsiuk]

The world's worst camera work !

[myCAGS]

Even if this is plagiaristic at best, isn't it better that it mimics the likes of Penderecki, Ligeti, etc. rather than reproducing the even more dull and unimaginative structures of so-called "pop-music"?
