9 hours

(backposting) Nine hours of driving in the end. No voice. Listened again and again to this piece of music (no video).

Not this recording (a better one than here, IMHO), but still. I listen to it and wonder how someone could hear it and _not_ believe. It's by Olivier Messiaen, and is called "Dieu Parmi Nous" (God Among Us"), from "La Nativité du Seigneur" ("The Nativity of the Lord"). It's long, but oh, so worth it.

hearing pain and wonder!
 
Just listened again- needed some music- I suspect that it is best heard rolling from Cathedral walls rather than over my inadequate lap-top speakers- there is something about live organ music that you can feel as well as hear!

BTW- what would be a good recording?
