 Divine ballet music June 20, 2013 By robin b. (cotati, CA) See All My Reviews "Sir Paul has gifted us some of the finest ballet music I've ever heard. In imagination, listening, my head and heart began to actually choreograph to the swells, sweeps, quieting intervals and sheer mastery of this piece of beauty carrying through me. Its artful artlessness brought visions of human movement from every corner of our earth and our magnificent diversity. Listening with my eyes closed allowed his music to fully embrace my own being. Beyond enjoyment." Report Abuse
