This song hits home, especially the last line
What music leaves a mark on you?

Am *VERY* familiar with both the tale and the music. I wore out my mother's recording of it when I was a teenager. Every once in a while, you'll see a Belly Dancer dance to one portion or another of Scheherazade, sometimes with a middle eastern beat superimposed on top of it.
Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" is another fave, so is Dvorak's "New World Symphony". I played French Horn for 25 years...

One song and one song only speaks to me. I get a lump in my throat and fight tears every time I hear it.
Amazing, I listen to various recordings of it at least once a week and it never gets old.
One more piece that knocks me out is Rimsky-Korsakov's version of Night on Bald Mountain. It was written around the tale of witches who gather annually (Witches Sabbath) on barren rocky Bald Mountain in Russia to entice the devil himself to appear. Spooky stuff that was done up well in Walt Disney's Fantasia animated film too. There are a lot of fascinating stories and tales behind much of the classical music many of us love, many are surprising when discovered. Flight of the Bumble Bee came from 1001 Arabian Tales too, think back to Sinbad The Sailor where that came from... which was even done in old Popeye cartoons lol.
Ok guys you can slap me around on this but this subject is one that has had me in its grips longer than Jeeps have.
I knew a guy who could play Flight of the Bumble Bee on the tuba!Amazing, I listen to various recordings of it at least once a week and it never gets old.

Some like from Wagner but not much opera otherwise. I'd have to say I don't listen purposely to opera.
I'm not a huge opera fan either - but if I'm in the right mood, the voices are beautiful. Especially if its sung in English - which is rare. Wagner huh? You don't go light, do you? Der Ring des Nibelungen!
OP
It's interesting how some songs can take years, and tears, to write. The movie "I can Only Imagine" is truly an incredible story about the writing of a remarkable song. If you're human, you can't help but feel something when you watch it and then listen to the song.

Then there's the unexpected:
NOT my usual cuppa - but this one just appeals to me. Probably having a grandfather who was there during the coal wars of winter '30/'31. My late father was a very small child and had dim memories of the goin's on back then.
Sometimes it brings a feeling of melancholy and for some other reason, puts me deep in thought.
OP
Having a Father from West Va., and having shoveled my share of coal as a youth, I have a soft spot for anything Bluegrass related. Especially, when Alison Krauss is singing!
How many times did he get angry at the audience lmao
Sounds like a story there. I haven’t seen him live know a few have, never said anything about him being mad at the audience.
I basically listen to only Metal, Nu-Metal and hard rock.
The one album that sticks out is Linkin Park Hybrid Theory. It's the first album I ever bought. I was probably 9yo at the time. I listened to that album front to back countless times. I still have it, actually it's in my TJ now. I love to put it on during a long drive and listen to it with no interruptions.
