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.

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.

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!

[@_Tovar_]

I hear two things too. A fall of a mans empire (Business or influence) . The other being the rise of a man looking into a hopeful future. A rise of an empire (business or influence)

[@mona2242]

Tovar yes, as in Godfather 111.....except maybe it was the fall from grace.

[@julianakarna8507]

A brilliant Conductor. Amen Thank you. From Brunei

[@daisyvenegas2413]

Es realmente maravillosa!

[@williammeek]

I cry half the time cus was a my grandpa’s funeral and will certainly be at my mum’s 😰

[@adamtier3263]

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..

[@cesarsalvestro2766]

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

[@mbaaubry]

I believe that this song was played towards the end of Godfather Part III.....what a beautiful piece. Absolutely timeless.

[@christinecronje4704]

Except it is not a song!

[@ouiaudesarmement.ouialapai1737]

Une merveille !!! Merci Maestro Merci à tous vos prodigieux musiciens.❤

[@Amourtendresse]

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

[@NeilLackey1]

This song reminds me of my dad, he loved this. He sadly passed away 4 years ago.

[@helloamlucas6669]

Rest in piece, my good sir...

[@adrianvirgilio2099]

Who would say, humans can make terrible things like weapons but can also make beautiful things as this song.

[@DodgeRoebuck]

+adrian virgilio you're wrong. this is more than just a song... it is a musical piece

[@maxmanmanus]

+Daniel Trinh A fantastic piece of art.

[@clemrumley2748]

+adrian virgilio yes you are so right... ... now listen to the Ave Maria intermezzo from Cav Rus.... Ave Maria Intermezzo Cavalleria Rusticana - Plácido Domingo & Sissel Live

[@sebasrubbino6102]

exactement

[@rafikbaladi6555]

+adrian virgilio Adriono, you are so right! Wow, how can we be so cruel and, yet, so divinely capable of nurturing souls?

[@ducnguyen8357]

A moment of silence for people can not find this masterpiece 😂

[@didacticaydirecciondecentr2252]

I always liked this piece from Caballeria Rusticana. So did my father. Seven years ago, while he was facing death, already sedated, I put the headphones in his ears and he listened, exactly, to this interpretation of these musicians. With the last chords, he breathed his last. Every time I listen to it, I get emotional. When I die, I will let it be said that I will put on headphones with this same piece of Caballeria Rusticana.

[@josephgonnelli7990]

I have come to believe that beautiful music is like a glimpse of God's joy!

[@jaybebaybe1]

Such music is in my veins, but when I hear this masterpiece it falls from my eyes as tears.

[@marcfelix1591]

This use to bring back to me the pain of unrequited love. Now I think of babies and young children, from South Sudan to Syria. Suffering the long death of starvation or searing pain of bombs and bullets-they will never grow to experience these emotions. Can the art of a few overcome . . no, no word can describe what hell goes on millennia after millennia.

[@franklettering]

Marc Felix . But,we Need the OIL.What's the suffering of children to our love of raping the planet.

[@hazelharvey5584]

Stunning performance of one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. My old Dad was always humming this as we grew up and it still brings me to tears. ❤

[@hsinkelee]

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

[@Fons53]

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

[@piannissimmo]

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

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

Xiana Albor Oh me too, never fail

[@thomasraahauge5231]

I cry every time.

[@asimplesong1]

[@lindanapoli41]

I'm brought to tears every time I hear this. Beautiful version!

[@sylviaelenamunoz2572]

Bellisima!! Excelsa!! Mascagni Pietro es un GENIO!! Maravillosa Obra!!!!😂😂😂😂❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟

[@NefosG]

I, as a geek, first heard this song on Rurouni Kenshin, when Kenshin leaves to Kyoto, leaving Kaoru behind. Very touching!

[@caitlinwood7943]

That is how I just discovered this piece of music. (First time watching Rurouni Kenshin via Crunchyroll -- I was too young to watch the anime when it originally aired. :P ) This is an incredibly beautiful piece.

[@papein]

actually its when kenshin returns from kyoto with kaoru

[@stopbeingignorant]

Manuel Caballero Actually, it's both. I know, they used the same song twice in Ruroken! Crazy and impossible, right?

[@luanne80]

YES THAT IT WAS!

[@filly07]

How I found this song YEARS AGO!!! Awesome!! It was so touching and moving at the time that I searched for forever to find it.

[@emmanuelpadilla4963]

Soy un analfabeto en cuestión de esta música pero me di cuenta que no es necesario ser un ilustrado para describir lo que centi al escuchar tanta dulzura bellesa suavidad mi corazón se cintio con tantas emociones feliz de la vida.

[@jhonierr2476]

De eso se trata de esta música, sentir, sentir en nuestro cuerpo y mente.

[@user-eo2hc1mf3d]

موسيقي رائعة من البلد الرائعة ايطاليا الجميلة ومايسترو فريد. تحية عظيمة

W LIVORNO ♥️🇮🇹, wl' ITALIA forever

[@brassdoff859]

Love the conductor's audible sigh of anticipation at 01.36. He's not supposed to do that, but you understand him.

[@buddhasattva]

Brassdoff. He's too involved with the music!

[@dinocarlucci2105]

Brassdoff Could have been he was too
