Classical music often incorporates imagination and expression of nature. The harmonies meld with the sounds of nature, crafting a musical experience akin to a mystical natural landscape.

Beautiful playing. I love Ashkenazy's sound. The only problem with this video is the sycnchronization. The audio track is a little behind the video.
