This is probably my favorite piece of music ever, along with the Phantom overture.  I'd try to list all the things I love about it but it would probably turn into an essay.

In my piano, I am trying to play organ's prelude. It's the hardest thing I tried. But magnificent :)

The organ opening is chilling, the company's singing is crisp and slick. And then at 4:44......BOOM!!! the power behind Bryn Terfel's voice is just unbelievable!!
