An Italian jukebox.

How could you not stop and listen? Music that stirs the soul.

Beautiful and well done.

Thanks!

thatsa nice

Nice, but advertisement for the Bank in the background.

That was cool.

That was good!

Thank you for sharing that.

Very cool, I would like to experience that in person.

aaaaand I spent an hour on wimp like I do everytime someone posts a link to it.

Cool original video, though. I love string and brass together.

That made my day much less E36 M3ty, thank you!

So? How awesome would it have been to have been there and got caught up in that.

Amazingly awesome, that's how awesome.

The kids all looked thrilled.

The adults looked happy, yeah. But the kids had the whole unbridled joy thing going that most people kind of lose somewhere along the way.

Viva Italia!

I loved good street performances in Europe. The kids pretending to be conductors were my favorite in this video.

This reminds me a bit of the little social experiment of the world class violinist playing incredible music in a DC train station and almost no one stopping to listen. Pausing to spontaneously enjoy culture is definitely something the Europeans are better at that we could do well to emulate.

this might sound weird, but there are those among us that don't like that kind of music.. i'm one of them.. i remember that violin video going viral, and all i could think of was how annoyed i'd be if i was just trying to get from point a to point b and someone was playing a violin in a place where it's not supposed to be played- which to me is as bad as someone cranking up some rap or teeny bopper bubble gum pop...

I caved into peer pressure when I was 10 and started playing a sax. I really wanted to drive a bassoon.

That was lovely. Am I the only one who finds all those flash mob videos really annoying and self-indulgent?

You might need to fight Curmudgion for his name. Classical might not be to your tastes, but you can't at least enjoy it for what it is? I don;t care for Rap or Country, but I can enjoy certain aspects of those two performance genres

That is by far my favorite piece if music.

This was very nice.

Goosebumps!

When I watched it, I thought how nice of a surprise it was compared to those stupid flash mob dance things. Music being put together in levels like that is pretty awesome. People dancing around annoying the E36 M3 out of people in a train station is annoying.

Had I seen this in person I might very well have wept, there are few pieces of music that can move me thus and this is one.

aye.. that is a very moving piece of music
