Mozart's music is almost a language, to me. Cerebral and conversational. What sends me soaring, though, is Wagner.

Not a singular experience. But did Wagner make annotations in a Bible of his own?

I know what you mean. I can't resist being overwhelmed by Wagner in spite of myself. I attended Wolfgang Windgassen's farewall permance of Tristan at Beyreuth. Birgit Nihlssen sang Isolde. The final curtain call lasted an hour and a half. The stage was covered with flowers.

The Liebestod sung by Leontyne Price is especially beautiful--lyrical and lovely.

Ugh, too German. Try Dvorak. His opera Rusalka performed by the lovely Renee Fleming has the absolute touch of God.
