I'm no doubt showing my age, but this is a timeless masterpiece played to perfection. I'm shocked this building in only 2% full. I would have paid money to hear this live.

A beautifully rendered perfection.
The setting was intimate. I found its rusticity wholly appropriate and satisfying. I would have enjoyed being there too. 🙂

Another great timeless masterpiece, Air on a G string: J S Bach.

Originally posted by @mchillExcellent interpretation. Two players at one with the music. Whether the music would have been as memorable without seeing the film is debatable. The music for “The Godfather”, “Titanic”, “Dances with Wolves”, “Out of Africa”, “Lord of the Rings” etc. is all so intimately involved with the films that I find it almost impossible to listen to it without empathising with the film. Does this make it great music? Debatable. Whereas “Death in Venice”, “2001,a Space Odyssy”, “Brief Encounter”, “A Clockwork Orange” etc. all use music not especially written for the films. The music for these is unquestionably great.

As it turns out, I have actually played this piece on piano and on flute. While not exceptionally technical, the tune is familiar to most, it is exceedingly emotive, and this performance looks like it's in a cathedral and the venue is everything. Buildings like this lend beautiful tone to most music.

Compay Segundo playing the timeless "Chan Chan".
Note he is playing an 8 string guitar and not his
usual 7-string (armonico) which he invented.
