"When God listens to music, He listens to Bach. When the Angels listen to music, they listen to Mozart."

That about sums it up. Bach is pretty profound. Mozart is just pretty. In Sire, Lord and Master of Bach's St. John Passion, there is more spiritual truth than in Mozart's entire output.

Well, although I don't want to get into a musical pissing match, I have to respectfully disagree. I love the Brandenburg concertos and the cello suites (I'm a cellist), but to me, for pure emotion, nothing comes close to Mozart. I took my husband to an opera for the first time last year "Cosi fan Tutte" and he loved it. He said he had no idea that opera could be funny. I guess that's why I love Mozart, his music runs the gamut from playful, to ponderous, to passionate.
