I was supposed to write "Programs that make you appreciate the music more" but it was apparently too long lol.
Is it there any piece of music that you, at first, thought it was not particularly beautiful/exceptional/stunning etc., but after you saw a skating program that used the music, you suddenly think that the music is extraordinary, that you feel so much emotion while listening to it?
For me, at first I thought the aria "Un bel di vedremo", while it is a beautiful aria, was not particularly moving. It is not as emotional as Vissi d'arte, it does not have a wide range, i thought it was just a sub-par operatic aria. But all of this changed after I saw Mao's FS last season. Everything suddenly became so sublime and serene, as if it was a totally different piece of music. And now I always listen to different renditions of this aria and it has become one of my favourite arias.
The second movement of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no.2 is the same case. Chen Lu's performance really brought out the beauty of this music.
Do you have a similar experience? Please share!
