That's so beautiful. The performance is choreographed in addition to simply playing their instruments. I kept looking to a guy in the top left and he was twirling his drum stick in unison with the music. So were the other performers, they weren't simply standing their waiting for their part but performing the entire time.
Really cool!
Really cool!

"Heartbreak - Romantic Encores for Violin" - Elissa Lee Koljonen.
A gorgeous album if you like this kind of music. Here's one of the tracks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD3u88jsrhQ
- On my computer it was followed by this beautiful Chopin nocturne:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU8_upVBnT4
- And there's a whole library of lush music via YouTube, down the right side of the web page.
@applestar , I enjoyed the Japanese (I assume?) drumming although it's something I wouldn't usually see. I specially noticed that drumming is one of the few forms of instrumental music that lets you openly exhibit joy while performing.

I mostly listen to music at night or in the vehicle while I'm on the road. It completely relaxes me and curbs my stress.
I've had an obsession with music nice I was little. I had quite a collection of kiddie, and recordable cassettes that I'd listen to all the time. Now since cassettes are old fashioned, I have a large CD collection and digital recordings. If I find a song on YouTube I like, I record it with my digital player and listen to it offline and at nighttime.
My neighbor told me that a friend of hers has a CD player that holds up to five CDs. I was instantly jealous because I wish I could afford such a player.
There are a lot of singers I like, Michael W Smith, Phil Collins, Johnny Cash...(I love his song Ghost Riders) and Bryan Adams. I am also fond of some of Lebo M's songs. I find instrumental Native American tunes fascinating as well as piano and guitar.

Since I am trying to learn Mandarin, I listen mostly to Chinese Music. Mostly it is music of Zhou Shen, Dimash, and drama music with pinyin, Mandarin and English subtitles. I am also recognizing some of the Kanji as well. I know Kanji is Japanese for Chinese character, I just don't know what they are called in Mandarin. I can recognize most numbers, person, girl, mother, I/me, why, no, year, moon, love, white, tall, return, lifetime, under, day, and see. I have a couple of radios, but I don't really listen to music and the car radio was broken when I bought it.
I also don't like to watch Korean dramas although there are some really good ones out there because the language would confuse me. I do like the song Endless love from the drama "The Myth" with Jackie Chan. A part of that song is sung in Korean. I do also like Henry Lau performing Despacito.

Love classical but it doesn't play well in a vehicle. I pretty much like anything from 40's to 90's except hip-hop. Favorites are pre-60's country, Tori Amos, Mazzy Star, Zero7, Cigarettes After Sex, Enigma, Amethystium, Balligomingo, Capercaillie, Loreena McKennitt, (anything Celtic), Speck Mountain, REM, N-I-N, Tool. A wide variety for being 67 years old...

Hey, I'm 84 & I listen to stuff from Bach, Paganini, Mahler & co. to Chris Barber & The Clyde Valley Stompers. I like a lot of Celtic music too but I don't speak Gaelic - except those few call-&-response words when downing a glass . I like plenty of 'folk' music too. If I could have the voice of any man I chose it would be Ronnie Browne of The Corries,

followed closely by Stan Rogers.

Oh, and maybe Leonard Cohen.

I love Baroque music! I'm a huge fan of Monteverdi as well.
I discovered Jordi Savall in 1991 when I bought the soundtrack of a movie called Tous les Matins du Monde, a movie starring Gérard Depardieu, with his son playing a younger version of himself. Depardieu plays a musician and all the scenes of him playing the viola de gamba are played by Jordi Savall.
If you enjoy his baroque music then you may surely enjoy the movie, if you haven't already seen it!

At times I don’t think of Montiverdi as baroque. To my ears he appears to be in a class of his own.
Savall amazes me as he can switch from ethnic/folk music to conducting Bach cantatas and a vast range of other music. The clip I posted was a concert dedicated to the memory of his late wife. Their son is the vocalist. How he got through rendering a song his mother often sang I don’t know.

I love the Monkees. Some of the best songwriters of the time wrote their music. And while they used to be put down for not playing on the records, many of their contemporaries also not only did not play on their own albums, (like The Beach Boys). Many times the instrumentation was invented by the session musicians who did the playing.
Monteverdi is an interesting case. In his late career his contemporaries said that the Madrigal form was past and could no longer be improved upon. And that's when Monteverdi wrote some more madrigals that proved that the problem was not the form of music but the lack of invention of his contemporaries.
I read a long time ago that he helped evolve the Opera and pushed the Renaissance music of his time forward toward Baroque. All I know is that my first exposure to his music, the Vespers, the purity and ephemeral quality of the singing and music simply blew me away. I used to listen to it for hours on end. I still enjoy it but it's not the same as enjoying it alone in an apartment on a high quality sound system, with all the time in the world.

I like two unique singers. Zhou Shen and Dimash.
Unmasking of the masked singer. Make sure you see the unmasking. (I could only find the Thai sub version)

Zhou Shen in other languages

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwjBduDKFGo
To be fair Zhou was sick when he did this performance so his voice sounds different than usual
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5MzkkH5sRQ
Duet with the original singer of this song.

Music to leave the planet by - - - - -
Wir sind durch Not und Freude
gegangen Hand in Hand;
vom Wandern ruhen wir beide
nun überm stillen Land.
Rings sich die Täler neigen,
es dunkelt schon die Luft.
Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen
nachträumend in den Duft.
Tritt her und lass sie schwirren,
bald ist es Schlafenszeit.
Dass wir uns nicht verirren
in dieser Einsamkeit.
O weiter, stiller Friede!
So tief I'm Abendrot.
Wie sind wir wandermüde--
Ist dies etwa der Tod?
Through sorrow and joy
we have gone hand in hand;
we are both at rest from our wanderings
now above the quiet land.
Around us, the valleys bow,
the air already darkens.
Only two larks soar
musingly into the haze.
Come close, and let them flutter,
soon it will be time to sleep -
so that we don't get lost
in this solitude.
O vast, tranquil peace,
so deep in the afterglow!
How weary we are of wandering--
Is this perhaps death?

Reminds me of my paternal grandmother's passing. She spent the last 11 years of her life ‘dying’ but finally the day before she departed the planet she called all her offspring and relatives to her bedside, dragged herself up on the pillows and addressed the assembled company “You lot think you’re going to be very comfortable due to my generosity. Well, none of you vultures are getting anything so you can all leave now” They say never speak ill of the dead but I’m afraid I can’t remember anything about the old bag other than how creatively nasty she was.
