Notes
"[...] It is a wonderful place – vast, strange, new and impossible to describe. Its grandeur does not consist in one thing, but in the unique assemblage of all things.

I don't remember if I've left a similar comment before, but I just want to say I love all your historical/period drama themed playlists! They are not just beautiful and relaxing, but also capture the atmosphere of passed eras so perfectly. Thank you for making these playlists and letting us hear such beautiful music!

@Lysanndrê it is great to receive such a compliment! Finding the right atmosphere (at least "right" f or me) is something I definitely I care about when making these playlists and I'm glad when people can connect to that.
