[zhsqzkv]

Love your music, and the animations made these composers human, rather than just names floating in space. Dez Prez my favorite.

[JanisKeller-lvem]

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I knew a lot of these composers, a lot I never heard of. Life was very different when they were living. It was more difficult. Doctors were available for the wealthy, but not the poor. One composer had the ability to move one eye independently of the other eye. Today that could be fixed. I also enjoyed looking to see if these men looked happy or not. No one smiled. Not even with a closed mouth. Thank you for posting this!

[subrataghosh]

Very many thanks and salute to all the genius composer from my heart

[lindaconley]

It is too hard to pick just one.Great video.

[natureexplore]

Literally the time when music was still packed with lots of sense. ❤

[tessmantel]

Perhap make a remastered version of this video which uses each composer’s most well-known piece as background music, that will be so much better. Fantastic job!

It’s one of the few times that technology will have managed to move me. Thank you.

[caterscarrots]

My favorite is Beethoven. Mozart is my second favorite. After that, things change depending on what I'm in the mood for.

[Rombizio]

The algorithm tends to mistakenly correct strabismus. It also makes head movements that are very scary. Looks like those guys came back from the dead and just woke up and are trying to figure out wtf is happening.

I love it that the music in this video was a piece by the greatest composer of all time, although he's apparently only number three in popularity.

[ssprokofiev]

Favorite composer -- Prokofiev. This video is quite good, though I would've ranked Stravinsky, Mendelssohn and Debussy a little lower and Rachmaninov somewhat higher. That said, I realize that compiling composers for such a video is extremely difficult--someone will get left out (Martinu) and others may be ranked in places too high or too low to please everyone. Overall though, this is a fine effort.

[alvaroortiz]

Excelente. Felicitaciones. Me gustaría que aplicaran éste sistema a las grandes figuras políticas de la historia. Quedo a la espera. Felicitaciones nuevamente.

[ConradAskland]

My personal favorite composer animation is #45 Gluck - Looks like a great person to have a dinner conversation with.

[paulpomme]

So, Berg was a girl ! Lol.
Great job, much fun, especially paintings movings of course, thanks 😁
