Human Achievement

It does seem at times that the human race gets a bit of a bashing for all the doom laden destruction, industrialisation, money making schemes and greed that is going on.

We must not lose sight of the fact that so much that is not damaging, nor destructive, nor fuelled by greed or hatred, has been created by humans. It just seems right to acknowledge this occasionally.

The greatest achievement of the human race is artistic, and I have to mention this particular piece. A pinnacle of musical composition and orchestration. This performance is superb, showing the joy and companionship that can be generated by people playing great music, beautifully, together.

In addition, this piece demostrates the amazing technological simplicity achieved by the designers, creators, and builders of the violin family.

It all comes together in this performance. Even if the music is not to your taste, such incredible achievement cannot be denied.

Watch, listen, marvel
