Oh yes, Mizmo. the first time a saw this I too, cried. It is such an emotional piece, but how did this baby know?

Are certain chords or melodies recognized by all people, all ages as somehow moving? This child is only two, yet he felt it. 🌹

Yes I think so.
When I was at school a hundred years ago some classes were taken to hear The Scottish National orchestra as it was known then
by our music teacher, usually about three times in the year and Moonlight Sonata was played at one of them. It was in the late war years
so I would be about age 10.

I cried, my best pal next to me cried, the teachers cried and some others . We were all wondering why we had tears while it was being played.
Those visits got me hooked on the classics and I have never stopped listening.

Ah, I see. Then I guess it's true... music can tame the the savage beast, or earlier; the savage breast. Who knows. i guess the brain or psyche is somehow attuned to certain combinations of sounds, maybe?

I think it's wonderful that you were exposed to that music so young! Even tho' you all sobbed with joy! So sweet.:love:
 
On a final note about the school classics concert.
Usually the boys were a bit restless and tended to chatter but at one concert
Ravel's Bolero was played and they were all awestruck as it progressed and reached that crescendo. At the end some of them even jumped up and clapped. Teachers were amused:D:LOL:

The boys did ?!? Maybe I understand....
"Bolero" is the best musical example of climax or crescendo there ever was, imo.
I would have loved to see them react.
 
I listen to this every day. Deeply moving and it touches my soul.
Have listened to Apocalyptica, a 4 cello group with a drummer for some songs, for quite a while. They started with rock covers, then some originals and sometimes guest vocalists.
Acoustic version

 
Many don't realize what an amazing voice Meatloaf had. The two of them together brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely love classical music, opera and all music. I am an extreme minimalist but my CD collection is embarrassingly large. :)

Last night on TV, I watched a recording of the concert in Sao Paulo, Brazil, by André Rieu and his orchestra.

The classic Nessun Dorma brought many an emotional tear.

The fabulous Hallelujah Chorus.

I almost had a guilt trip enjoying that concert. My wife will see it later, she was in her cabin finishing off a pair of trousers that she has made for me. Have to say my new trousers are brilliant. See here.(scroll down)
