Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the delicate woodwind opening to the full orchestral swell in Caccini's Ave Maria.
Bocelli's breath control during the sustained, hushed final notes of Schubert's Ave Maria.
The triumphant choral backing that elevates the final chorus of Gloria a te, Cristo Gesù into a cinematic anthem.
