Sometimes YouTube throws something extraordinary at me out of the blue.

I've just listened to a couple playing Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor on the glass harp. This is an instrument where you drag a wet squeaky finger around a glass to make it ring. I can't begin to imagine the effort they had to put into learning it.

This was done at an Italian music festival around 2010, lasts 11 minutes.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
