It's quite beautiful and deceptive in it's simplicity. Fascinating to know that he wrote the waltz fifty years ago and dreamed of being a musician.

I feel as though he gave himself far too little credit.

OK but not a fan of waltz music and do not like to see Andre Rieu. Cannot stand him. Show off.

If it's not for you, it's not for you, there's nothing wrong with that, but whatever one's feelings toward the director, the music is no less beautiful.

That’s very interesting I didn’t know he composed music. I seem to remember reading somewhere recently that he was diagnosed with Aspergers around 10 years ago or so. It’s not the sort of classical music I would normally listen to but it went down well with the audience.

 

[Robin Winter]

I don't usually listen to this type of music either, but I found it to be haunting and it tickled my senses. I may have to invest more into it.

 

[Starfire]

What type of music do you usually listen to?

 

[Robin Winter]

It varies, honestly. Whatever makes me feel good. The only genres I won't listen to are Hip Hop/Rap and Country.

I can't stop thinking about Hannibal while watching this

Anthony Hopkins and the suffering caused by unrecognized Asperger’s condition

He's 80 now, and apparently was diagnosed as aspie about 10 years ago.
