This is what “ Falling In Love” sounds like .

I was five or six years old when I first heard this piece on television. It was the theme song from "The Onedin Line“. The music uplifted me and I was moved to tears. I had never heard anything like this before. I was falling in love. But I didn't know the name of the piece or the composer. I only knew: it’s this song from that „TV series with the sailing ships.“ For years I searched for the song, asked my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles. Nobody knew it. There was no internet and no google to ask back then. Years went by. When I was 30 years old, I was in Speyer, Germany. All of a sudden I heard some music from a distance. There was a violinist at the cathedral. And he played that piece! I could not believe what I was hearing. I rushed towards the violinist. Talked to him. He told me the name of the piece and the composer. And played it again. Just for me. I felt like I had finally met the love of my life again - after losing her. And I could finally take her in my arms. After years of separation. And this is exactly what Spartacus & Phrygia is about. With one exception: i didn’t die.

When the main theme starts full force it feels like all walls have dropped and you're finally free...

The feeling when listening to the Adagio is that A. katchaturian had either been snatched up to Heaven for a few moments, or that an angel inspired him.

If this doesn't give you goosebumps, then you truly have no soul.

We need this music to day….Khachaturian have deservd a much bigger name in the music world!!!

In my opinion this is the single most beautiful piece of music ever created.

Հրաշք, հրաշք, հրաշք։ Կարծես հոգիս սավառնում է տիեզերքում։Բրավո մեծ վարպետ Արամ Խաչատրյանին

Einfach nur wunderschön...es geht unter die Haut.....❤❤❤

If they play this in heaven, eternity can never be long enough......

The Armenian vibes of Aram Khachaturian❤️

This piece introduced me to classical music and opened my heart to the love of beautiful music ever since I was a child.

As a teenager growing up in the UK in the 1970's, Sunday evenings, BBC1 The Onedin Line with its beautiful theme - Khachaturian's "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia".

🇦🇲🙏💋Արամ Խաչատրյան հայ մեծ հսկա, թող քո հոգին լույսերի մեջ լինի։

ethereal, heavenly, transcending, mesmerizing - one of my favorite orchestral pieces

Music from heaven.

Musik 🎶 is the way over all Limits, all borders, all nations 🕊🕊🕊 Thank you all so much for this perfect adagio ❤

Magnifique interprétation d’une magnifique composition!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! The climax at c. 6.32 is perfect and so emotional

What must it be like to play such wonderful music ?!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This Armenien piece of Music is womderful and played equilly wonderful

The world of Classical Music is a wonderland filled with a lifetime of great thrilling and touching experiences.

Our great Kachatrian 🇦🇲

I first heard this back in the mid seventies, it was the music to the program Onedin Line. I was only a young boy and even loved it then.

Absolutely beautiful, powerful, emotional perfection.

The Armenian legend 🇦🇲

Si esto fuera lo único valioso compuesto por Khachaturian ya le alcanzaría para quedar como un genio en la historia de la música

The music so fits the story of Spartacus and the slaves and their courageous yet ultimately doomed fight for freedom. It's still relevant to injustice today, and is eternally beautiful.

Perfect music to be sitting on a boat wind in your face, I'm there now !

In my 14 years of living, I’ve genuinely never been so captivated by music before. I heard this somewhere and had been searching for it for a whole week straight, and I’m absolutely awestruck. Goose bumps.

I was lucky to see the ballet Spartacus years ago . Aram Khachaturian was very talented . Once you listen to his music , you want to hear more . I think this is the best of what I heard . It is very dramatic and yet very elegant . Thanks . Spasibo .

I imagine this is what heaven sounds like 👍🏼

This piece epitomizes tragic romance; first, romanticizing the death of Spartacus, and secondly, Phrygia’s heartbreak for the loss of her beloved Spartacus.

I get goosebumps sooo beautiful and haunting at the same time💖🌸👏👏

Maestro Azim leads this ensemble extremely well!!

Einfach nur schön. Was für ein gefühlvoller, toller Komponist.Ich liebe ihn schon seit der Schulzeit.❤ Simply beautiful. What a sensitive, stunning composer he was. I' ve loved him since my time at school. Always.

I have loved this ever since I heard it originally on a PBS series. The Onedin Line.

Let only music rule the world fans, let it just sound this good, what a heavenly delight this track yeah, the legendary Spartacus fate fans

Мой брат играл мне всегда 'Танец сабли ' и полюбила Хачатуряна навсегда . Великий композитор .Спасибо.

Reminds me of my childhood and watching the Onedin Line.

Aram Khachaturian, Glorious Name

μουσική που μιλά στη ψυχή … τέλειο!

It is more than music! 👏🏼

Brilliant

I just "stumbled" upon this while searching for ballett videos and I cant stop repeating this video. I literally watching with my mouth open and a single tear rolling down my cheek.

Per me è la rinascita ... l'alba...il nuovi inizio.. Aram, l'orgoglio armeno.

A sublime piece of music. The strings, woodwinds, harp, brass, and percussion weave their seamless tapestry as they guide us through the struggle of Spartacus.

I have grown up around the Classics of some of the most influential composers from this beautiful planet. This piece, along with many others draws me back to my childhood and soothes my tempered soul. Beautiful.

The ballet is spectacular. And Spartacus and his wife dancing this on the eve of his defeat - heartrending. And then, a quotation from it does segue remarkably well into the sound-track behind a clipper cutting through the ocean . Lovely piece.

Incredibly talented Aram Khachaturian and one of his masterpieces! Pride of Armenia and Armenian nation 🇦🇲🫶🏻

Food for soul ....

The Hudsucker Proxy film reminded me of this unforgettable piece.

A celestial master performance of Khatchaturian's famous master piece. Thank you so much, dear Moscow State Symphony Orchestra and Azim Karimov. May humanity come together as one united in music, the most celestial form of art, reminding us of the true meaning of life, which is to praise the beauty of god's creation.

I first heard it when I was a kid in a foreign movie series, It hit me so hard in my heart, that I followed each series from beginning to end, even though I did not understand a word, only to capture even 30 seconds of music.

And Ballet was also to die for ❤ Highly recommend 🙏

I keep playing this over and over..... Love it!!!!

This is so so so very beautiful, i am crying my eyes out!

Magnifique musique. BRAVO ! BRAVO ! BRAVO ! MERCI mon chér compositeur Armenien.

Just gorgeous........ gasp!

insanın ruhunu okşaya nadir melodilerden biri ve çok iyi performe eden bir orkestra...nefis...

It is incredible that a slave who tried to be free gave birth to such beautiful music. Obviously Spartacus won, the Romans disappeared.

Гениальная Музыка! Шедевр мирового музыкального искусства! Прекрасное, вдохновенное исполнение!

¡Bravo! ¡Bravisimo! Excelente interpretacion una de los mejores adaggios de la musica clasica. Felicitaciones al director y a cada uno de los integrantes de la orquesta y por supuesto a Khachaturiam donde se encuentre

One of my most favorite pieces ❤️. I wish I had learned strings in addition to brass (I played trumpet and baritone). I hope my sons develop a love for classical music too.

My favorite classical piece ever

Beautiful music!!!

Me too I remember hearing it a long time ago with a TV show, loved it ! Still do ! Never knew he composed it ! Wow ! Beautiful ! Listen to his Masquerade suite si beautiful as well ! My favourite Waltz!

Absolutely takes my breath away ~

I wasn't sure about Classical music, I knew it was good because of the performance put in to it, but then I heard this and thought Wow The Onedin line theme! listened to it again and again and thought Wow this is beautiful and so much more!!

Wings for mind and soul Thanks a lot..🕊

Какая любовь жила в душе автора!

I come listen every couple of days to this. It is such a beautiful piece of music.

This song reminds me of the Spring time and the awakening of Nature. I imagine beautiful gardens and green pastures, flowing rivers and gurgling brooks. Fields with flowers and plants, trees.

This piece of music is endlessly beautiful and this is one of the best performance I've ever heard. Many thanks!

This was the theme music to the British series, Poldark, when i was a kid - '70s. IMO the best piece of music ever written. And I think this is the best performance of it I have heard.

Bravo oboe!!!! Top👍👍👍

What can you say about that wonderful simply wonderful.

Wonderful! What a lovely performance....

What a beautiful interpretation

This piece reminds me of my soulmate who I lost 💔

The melody and harmony is very beautiful! I admire the musical talent and sense of the Russian!

When i was a boy, i listen glen miller's big orchestra and aram khatsaturian music and this ballet music is one of the best of his music.

Гениальный Хачатурян и великолепная трактовка!
