Also, I'm not sure if you were meaning to post music that HAS feeling or not. I'm a bit confused. To you, which ones of the videos you posted have feel and which ones don't?
All the ones I posted have feeling/genuine expression except Leviathan. Leviathan technically complex and magnificently played, expresses nothing.

The Jason Becker was supposed to be "Eleven Blue Egyptians".

Now don't get me wrong, I do think Vivaldi and Mozart are amazing, but that most of their most popular pieces are their worst ones.

Like if you ask if Michaelangelo was a master artist, most would say yes assuming he is and cannot say why. Even then most only know about the statue of David or the Cistine chapel abd that just basically is not doing justice to his true magnificence. There is so much more to the statue or the chapel than what mosy realise and there are many other works which are equally as phenomenal.

Or people praising Warhol as a great artist, despite the fact that Warhol himself even said his soup cans were not art and basically all of his pop art was one giant trolling od the art community (Warhol - "You can put anything on canvas these days and people will think it is art"). The only reason he did it was to make money to fund what he really wanted to do in art, the stuff nobody ever talks about or knows exists.

This is basically how I feel about "Four Seasons"
