I'm not sure what to swoon over more, the art or the music...

I find the paintings a little Disneyesque, but the waltz has always been one of my favourites. I adore Khachaturian. Not sure if I can spell him, but I adore him.

I thought them quite realistic from what I remember of my only visit to Italy... That said, I've been amazingly sheltered from things Disney, so I have no idea.

Yes, I adore him too. His music, anyway. Sort of close second to Sibelius. :)

Very nice! Thanks for sharing - again :) I still cue up the Mozart Benedictus several times a week. *sighs happily*

I love sharing good things :D

Isn't that Benedictus version wonderful? I melt everytime Alastair Miles starts singing. LOL

I love that little twist he does with his mouth when he sings....

Oooh, I love Khatchaturian. I vote for the music over the art. But of course I would. I do love the way it's put together and it pans out and in. Someone did a really good job. (And it still plays while I comment! Love that too.)

Oh, you have a very valid point! The video is very good in that respect, yes. That explains why I wasn't nearly as impressed when I went to the dude's website.

Oh, I'm terrible. There is a version of this Khachaturian on youtube played by a mandolin orchestra. It's amazing!

i loved both the music and the art - very uplifting and like having a mini-holiday in the middle of my work day. my heart feels really open right now. :)

i may have enjoyed the art a little more, as i believe i recognized venice in some of those pictures, and i also love love love the water. it's funny to me that someone said the pictures were a little disneyesque, because when i was in venice i thought it felt rather like disneyland, i.e., not quite real. i've referred to it as being like disneyland for adults.

I thought it quite realistic, although I much preferred the video over the artist's website. Of course, I know nothing about Disney, lol. :D

Hmm, for me it is definitely the music. It is absolutely AMAZING!! *Sigh* My taste in art tends to lean more toward Da Vinci, Rubens, and Kinkade, heh. But then, that would fit, given my size, lol.

Thank you for this little distraction though, it is very lovely. =o)

Thank you, this is perfect for today, and I happen to love this art, some of the archway shots will be incorporated into this house decor, as it does remind me of a simpler time, a world idealized in my head, when I was always traveling somewhere with nowhere I HAD to be ... and I cannot help but dance to this music.

Bookmarking to slap onto my own LJ soon ... will credit you of course, for the inspiration.

The music and the art were both beautiful, and the video was very well done! I really liked his use of color, particularly for the flowers and the water. And the Khachaturian waltz was rich and full of romance... just what I would imagine Italy would be like.

This has seemed like a very long week at school, so a virtual spring break was a perfect little respite. Thanks!
