A Polymath Classical Delight. Enjoy {R}5' s ambiance in music.

From Mahler’s haunting  symphony No.1 to Camille Saint-Saëns and his Danse macabre; from the august Prokofiev and the childlike sweetness of Peter and the Wolf; from Tchaikovsky’s nut-cracking melancholia to Ravel’s petulant Boléro–a simple study of rhythm which Ravel finally hated–, to Vivaldi’s romanticism in Baroque times; to Satie’s deep feel of sadness in existence; to Mozart joyful abduction of love in a Seraglio (if you haven't watched Miloš Forman's Amadeus and Tom Hulce's electrical performance, you need to fix this); to the worrisome and constant whirl and longing in Wagner’s grandiose Faust; to Mendelssohn's Serious Variations on myths and legends interpreted by Alpin Huong.

There are a few vocal exceptions in this instrumental selection among which the soulful rendering of a poem by Lalon Fokir, Sob Loke Koy Lalon Ki Jat Sonsare (see p 60 in {R}5) and the adaption of a poem by Rabindranath Tagore in sweet singing.

Revue {R}évolution, in its quest to reunite the fragmented and pay tribute to the essence of Harmony, expresses profound gratitude to Poet Sourav Sengupta for this soul-stirring recommendation of music in Bengali classical music and Bhatiyali.

Through these melodies, we are transported by the transcendental spirit to a realm of profound bliss.

A gentle reminder that poetry goes beyond mere pleasure to our senses and emotions. Poetry can shape nations and connect us to the transcendental Self, hence the tremendous responsibility we bear as poets.

One and a thousand Strings, Flute, Cymbals, Bass Drum, Clarinet. Beauty Almighty.

May these symphonies of the Universal Spirit inspire a poem,

a painting, a story, your life.

Music, Polymath!
