This proves that music can have an actual physical effect on you. What a stunning piece of music, expertly played.

[@corkus]

This piece of music always makes my eyes water up. You can hear and feel the love from 2000 years ago. Love is eternal.

[@markwainwright2949]

I couldn't and wouldn't disagree with the profound comment in any way!

[@Cityraised901]

Well said. Put me on a deserted island with music from all the great Russian composers and I'd be content.

[@HenktenHoope]

It's an amazing master piece, but not 2,000 years ago. Just about 60 years.

[@corkus]

​@@HenktenHoope You can hear and feel the love from 2000 years ago that the song is based on. The actual love is millennias old. It's like the composer captured that and turned it into music.

[@geoffreyshelley5736]

It's absolutely beautiful. Judging from when it was written, l am pretty sure that it was written for the Spartacus movie.

[@mothRequiem]

all of khachaturian's compositions are stunning, but this one is just so gorgeous. wonderfully done

[@jenniferwaller6340]

My dear brother died yesterday aged 82. He had Parkinson's and Dementia. My father loved this piece of music and my brother played it for me on a visit back to to the Uk from Australia. I could feel my father's presence in the room whilst it was playing. I also loved the Onedin LIne of which this was the opening music. Beautiful, soothing music so filled with emotion that is why I am playing it now in respect of my dear brother

[@peter2327]

I did not hear it for about 42 years now Then today, I whistled the melody while working a tedious task, and had an "Ohrwurm" - the song did not leave my head again. Then today at dinner I remembered that is was the title theme of "The Onedin Line" which used to run in my childhood on TV, just before the childrens programme. Yes, programme, not channel. we had only three channels in Germany at the time. So this evening I learned at the young age of 50 about Aram Khachaturian - plenty to learn about the next few weeks! 😄

@@peter2327so u grew up in DDR?

[@peter2327]

@@karlheinz8568 No, I was born in West Germany. The 70s: We had ARD, ZDF, BR. Around when I came to elementary school in 1978, my Dad bought another VHF yagi antenna, double the lenght of the other one, then we could receive the austrian ORF. Which meant we could now see Formula one with austrian commentator. Satellite dish came in 1990, my parents were not keen on "stupidizing" their children with private TV stations, thus the late adoption.

It became widely known on the UK in the 1970S when it was used as the theme music to a BBC tv show "The Oneiden Line" about a 19th century shipping line. Everyone said how perfectly evocative of the sea and ships this great work is - but it has absolutely nothing to do with the sea but with ancient Rome.

Dumb comment

[@pedinomefaux]

A Soviet masterpiece. Kachaturian created his art to be enjoyed by farmers, factory workers and people who love music.

[@jerrytutunjian2022]

This music has nothing to do with the Soviets. It's by Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian whose career was almost wrecked by Stalin.

[@pedinomefaux]

@@jerrytutunjian2022 Aram was a dedicated communist intellectual who never rejected his ideals for a fair and just society. He was a Soviet citizen of Armenian descent educated in a socialist nation.

[@jerrytutunjian2022]

@@pedinomefaux Of course, Khachaturian was communist. However, in the late '40s and the early '50s, he was denounced--along with other leading Soviet classical composers--for composing anti-Communist music, according to increasingly paranoid Stalin. Khachaturian remained in Stalin's dog house until the ogre died. By the way, the "soviet citizen of Armenian descent" sounds like a throwaway perhaps to diminish his roots and influences. All it takes (for me) are a couple of notes to recognize the Armenian breath in Khachaturian's compositions. He also composed Armenian patriotic songs and the national anthem of Soviet Armenia. The latter anthem is as powerful as Soviet Union's remarkable national anthem. Google and compare.

[@alexreyna1508]

I don't know if most of you that are commenting have very intricate, or sensitive, or mature, or perfect tastes or perceptions that I'm lacking but although this is a decent piece, to me, at least to me, it's not even close, not even in the running, not even in 499th in the top 500 list of the most beautiful themes. I can think of 100's of orchestral pieces that are absolutely divine, this one just doesn't do it for me to this point but I understand that we all have different tastes. You know what I'd like to know, if it's possible to discover if there are any similarities of any kind between all of the people that are moved by a certain piece of music, like anything in common, or a common denominator, something? I wonder if anyone working on their PhD could use that as their thesis when writing their dissertation papers or something, that would be SO INTERESTING, but maybe it's like trying to find out the similarities in people that like asparagus or that prefer cats over dogs, or that like a certain color, right? Back to the Adagio, I've heard it a few times, to me it's just a decent piece, I only find one kind of moving part, just past the mid section, but that's about it.
