Holy shit.
Umm, sorry.
There was a statement that flashed on the screen upon hitting play on the Mini for the film 'The Tree Of Life' that said simply how the producers urged the viewer to turn up the volume very high to truly experience the film.
And this piece by Zbigniew Preisner is an utter testament to that statement.
It may be since I heard Sergei Rachmaninov's D minor piano concerto that a piece of music has so completely and utterly shocked and amazed me. Coupled with the vision in the film of the creation of Earth it is a powerful experience.
Umm, this video though will utterly not do it justice.
But the music is out there.
Find it.
Play it.
Unbelievably loud.
Play it unbelievably loud.
Crush all the air around you lying in a dark, empty space and let it wash over you.
The soprano voice rising ever-higher.
Joined by the choir.
And the orchestra.
Ever-higher.
Ever-higher.
Ever higher.
