Half way through writing this, Mascagni threw the manuscript in the bin but luckily his wife found it and told him to continue with it and not give up till he completed it. So glad she retrieved it from the bin. One of the most beautiful and yet haunting pieces of music you are ever likely to hear.

My Grandmother worked In service in a large house near Bristol when she was 12. Her hands were freezing going to work one morning so when she got in the kitchen she put her hands in warm water that was in the sink. This would be 1912. She was getting some relief when she heard what she said was the most beautiful music emanating from the living quarters upstairs...Years later she found out it was this piece. I love this version. It reminds me I'm standing on her shoulders🥰.

I've seen maybe 10 or 15 videos of this intermezzo, and I can say without doubt that this is the best. What makes it so special is the small silence before the crescendo and the maestro Lim Kek-Tijiam sigh. A masterpiece. 14 years later still resonates.

Quite possibly the most beautiful 4 minutes of music you'll ever hear

Back in the fifties when i was 15, much to my Dad's disgust I had bought a lot of rock and roll records.He asked me to buy some decent music. I had no idea what that was, but the old gentleman at the record store was a help. My Dad was a very tough bricklayer, but when I played this for him the tears were running down his cheeks. I had never seen my Dad cry before. Every time I hear it now it has the same effect on me.

Fucking wonderful

14,000 TIMES just in Italy: For those who were moved by Mascagni's music... I will post this from Wikipedia! Although Mascagni had started writing 2 other operas earlier, Cavalleria rusticana was his first opera to be completed and performed. It remains the best known of his 15 operas and 1 operetta. Its success has been phenomenal ever since its first performance (with 40 curtain calls). At the time of Mascagni's death in 1945, the opera had been performed more than 14,000 times in Italy alone.

Arguably, this is one of the most beautiful compositions in all of opera.

One of the ten most beautiful songs ever wrote in the history of music !!!

The internet was made for music like this to live on.

This piece of music has got me through my whole life, first heard in as a young boy on TV in a Kleenex advertisement and it really touched me, used to come home from Saturday night mass to the house to myself and turn off the lights in the living room and just close my eyes and listen to it . Definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music every written . Thank you Pietro Mascagni .

Thank God for the mother of Pietro Mascagni. Forever.

this song is exactly how it feels to fall in love when you’re slowly settling into it and it’s almost bittersweet and there’s no big eureka moment but a gradual realization that they mean so much more to you

Moving. Extraordinary. Rest in peace this great conductor. He is in Heaven now.

One of the most beautyful and most favorite classics of the world!

I remember playing this piece for my mother in her later years that was on a compilation CD that I have, and as soon as it started her eyes immediately lit up! She told me that she fell in love with this piece when she was a young girl. She had arrived early for choir practice at our church, & the pianist was playing an arrangement of it. She was enthralled! When I played it for her that evening it transported her back to that moment from her childhood. She has since passed on. At her funeral I insisted that they play the recording, and they used it for when the family entered the church. I can't explain how surreal that moment was. I know she was there, and it's wonderful to know that this was the final piece in the soundtrack of her life!

We played this at my Grandmothers funeral the 3rd of May 2018 she loved this but always cried when she heard it. We miss her badly 💔

The wish of my father to be played on his funeral. .. Still makes me cry.

Une pure merveille d'une intensité inégalée, toute l'âme des asiatiques pour transmettre la profondeur des sentiments 👏🙏🎶💓🎶✨✨

I’m 80 y/o and still remember my mother attempting to hum this absolutely beautiful piece of music. It was her favourite piece but I just wish that she were alive today to hear this version. It is ,in my opinion, the absolute best.

Truly, a moment to cherish and savor with a smile! 😊 I wish that Maestro Lim Kek-tjiang smiles in his tomb in knowing this complement! 😊 Rest in peace and serenity in Heaven Maestro! You had done it and it was really a Blast!!! 🤭

The most beautiful piece of music ever written.

The theme from a series about Oscar Wide, seen on tv

It is really the greatest version of this beautiful classic piece. The orchestra and the maestro Lim had done such a good job together.

Dio creò il paradiso e lo chiamò Italia. Italiani, Compositori di musica e Vita.☀️

This is a most beautiful piece, this was played at myums funeral a month ago, it was a piece she had chosen to be played, she always said when you listen to it think of it as the highs and lows of life, the low notes are there and still sound beautiful then they lead to a more beautiful lead of highs, it's true when I think of it lows then highs lows then highs but it's all beautiful, amazing

non a caso è considerato dal pubblico e dai più grandi esperti di musica classica, il più bel pezzo strumentale di tutta la musica lirica. E come diavolo dargli torto! MASCAGNI, ovunque tu sia, grazie da tutti noi comuni mortali.

D'accordissimo. Viva l'Italia 🇮🇹

Sensational.

Wonderful melody and sublime interpretation. It gives me a great inner peace. Every day, when I finish my workday, I listen to it twice. It is the best balm to relax and move ghosts away from my mind. Many thanks to Master Mascagni, who must surely be seated at the right hand of God, composing music for HIM.

Best performance of this great Artwork I ever heard. Bravo Evergreen Symphony Orchestra. The sound is just right!!

Lim Kek-tjiang conducts Evergreen Symphony Orchestra A most passionate and beautiful piece, it really is lovely to share and appreciate this level of exquisite music! Lovely to share to enrich the lives around us for the young generations to enjoy too!

we as a 'world' sometimes don't hear the magnificence of majesty in maestro Lim Kek-tjiang

The most beautiful piece of music in the world, I play it every night it calms me before I sleep and helps me cope with the loss of my son last year.It will be played at my funeral when hopefully we will meet again ❤

this is quite simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. And to think that it was an afterthought so that Mascagni could join the two acts of his newly written opera into a single act so as to be able to enter it into a contest. Needless to say - he won.

I did not know the latter. Totally echo your first sentiment. That it's the intermission makes me shake my head in awe.

Unfortunately, Cavalerica Rusticana never really caught on and Pietro Mascagni has his one hit wonder.

@@ms.annthrope415 “Never really caught on”. What planet are you on Ms Thrope? It is one of the most popular short operas there is, often combined with Pagliacci in a double bill.

Ahhhh!!!! The "sigh" moment at 1:35 makes me shiver every single time!! (and cry some of those times!! ;)

Víctor nuestros hijos siempre serán nuestros son nuestra huella el paso en esta vida,todo a su tiempo,solo el cariño comprensión y ternura de jados en tu hijo darán su fruto.

Il pezzo di classica che adoro piu' in assoluto.Ogni riascolto sono lacrime ed emozione pura come nient'altro.Complimenti per l'interpretazione di questa orchestra e al Maestro. Permettetemi un pizzico di orgoglio italiano per una musica suonata ovunque nel mondo.

Hai perfettamente ragione 👍 ,e quindi w l'Italia ♥️🇮🇹 sempre !!!

My favourite piece of music, when I was very young about 9yrs I found the music in my grandparents house and brought it to my music teacher and he played it for me on the organ in St Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny, I have never forgotten how wonderful this intermezzo is and I think it is the most divine music I have every heard.

This music has such a bitter sweet melancholic emotion to it. It makes me lament and rejoice for past lives I might of lived and people I might of loved..
