    Amazing!!!
    Inevitably the music brings intrinsic in its context, more than the sounds themselves.
    An intimacy with the composition and instruments is perceived, as well as a noble and rare virtue, which is the admiration for others.
    Notice how they express admiration and respect for each other.
    For me, music goes much further than sound.
