Ben, I don't often leave KZread comments but this video was stunning in its production values and content. You can really sense the effort that's gone into producing something this good. Really interesting information, beautifully shot and great music. I hope KZread starts to suggest your videos to more people because they blow a lot of other content on here out of the water. I look forward to the next video!

I just got back from Krakow. Really beautiful city. And this time of year - the city park smelled like a perfume as all the trees were blossoming. I could not get enough of that beautiful smell.

10:26 Whenever I look at Wawel Cathedral I think of a fact that very few know about today. Johann Sebastian Bach was the court composer to King Augustus III Sas of Poland. The first two movements of Bach's Mass in B minor were performed in this cathedral on January 17, 1734 during Augustus' coronation. PS Some claim it was a different Bach piece. Personally, I think this is impossible, since the Mass in B minor is Bach's only Catholic work. I can't imagine that a Lutheran work could be performed at Wawel at that time.

6:59 - at the moment you are standing next to the Czartoryski Museum (to your right), which houses one of the most beautiful female portraits ever - Leonardo Da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine. Rembrandt's Landscape with Samaritan is also there.
