Highest Musical Experience Known to Man?

No, this is not a flick with Classical Music in it.  But, I wonder what you think about the idea of it somehow representing a musical experience with Classical Music?  Have you ever had a performing or playing experience that somehow resembles this?  

Somehow I could let myself go there and it's as though the video translates a high musical experience for a Classical Musician into a different language for people who are not necessarily Classically oriented.  I put the title of the thread because that is how somebody brought this to my attention, saying they were told by somebody they trust that this is the highest musical experience known to man.  What do you think?

It's nice, but not even close.

Well, just to be clear, I am not talking directly about the musical content of the YT.

I would hope not. 

I didn't take it that way, anyway.  I mean that the highest experience of music exceeds in so many ways that which the clip attempts to capture. Maybe the clip just doesn't do it for me, but it was too temporal, too literal and too earthly.

Or, perhaps you mean it should explore something more like these?:

OK, I do get what you mean.  But, it struck me as a translation, a mortal translation or some kind of parable for somebody who is perhaps unfamiliar with an experience themselves ... or wonders why in the world does a musician practice the piano like a maniac?

Second pic won't load for me, but you're in the right territory now.

For one I actually agree with J Menz.

No. Lacks human emotion and feeling, far detached from the heart but to more earthly materials and the non-humane.

While this may be true for some, I don't think I've had such images, no.

Something that comes closer would be the eyes of a child looking into this physical world, expressing deep, deep sadness, yet hope...
P.S.: Main impression of it all: speechless. I even think I would spoil it by trying to describe it.
