This music captures the essence of renaissance Florence the most beautiful city in the world.

Yes, it is very moving,It evokes, for me both the finiteness of human love, and a very poignant, to me, presence of a member of my family, who isn't, physically here with us, any more. With the certainty, expressed through this beautiful aria, that there is a unity, in love, that transcends death.

To me this music is spiritual and not at all religious.It helps me to realise how small we humans are in this universe, but also helps to connect to it.

LOL, MageSutek! Feel free to copy/paste. I'm not religious minded, maybe "spiritual" in the NON-eternal "I exist as long as I'm breathing" sense. But I've learned to accept that others are free to interpret for themselves.The beauty of this aria is that it transcends beyond language and meaning into "being". Its beauty is eternal. For the moments we "connect" with it we share its eternity. I can see how some might associate it with what they believe to be eternal and beautiful.

Thank you very much for this! Please leave this comment with those who are putting pictures of the crucified Christ to this music. Bloody idiots.

This sonnet/orchestral piece makes me cry each time I hear it. It also gives me complete and total body chills. There is something surreal about it, and I hope to never forget that there are people who love to the extent of the passion in the lyrics and tones in this piece.
