I don’t know what these guys are singing about. I’ve heard of Bizet–he wrote Carmen and was French–but that doesn’t matter with music this moving. Although I’m sure that my experience would be heightened if I knew what they were singing, I still get chills from this piece.
A piece on classical music on NPR this morning guided me here, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be listening to this recording for the rest of the day and over and over again. Just another reminder that any indie kid or bowery tough who hasn’t given the occasional classical piece a try is really missing out on spectacular music. No shame in having a music collection where Battles and The Beatles are surrounded by Bach and Bizet.
