Not suitable for me as a music obsessed
I didn’t understand music for the first 5 minutes, and I was really suffering. I couldn’t hear anything. After listening to it, my heart was still heavy. I got a little better later, but it still gave me a feeling of oppression. The color picture didn't appear until the 9th minute, and the title...

It feels like it's made from medicine. There is music first and then pictures. The fourth paragraph with "The Rite of Spring" might be better with the "Planet" suite. The last paragraph of Satan's use of "Night on the Barren Hill" and "Ave Maria" is very praised

[longer introduction to "The Pastoral Symphony"]
Deems Taylor: The symphony that Beethoven called the "Pastoral", his sixth, is one of the few pieces of music he ever wrote that tells something like a definite story. He was a great nature lover, and in this symphony, he paints a musical picture of a day in the country. Of course, the country that Beethoven described was the countryside with which he was familiar. But his music covers a much wider field than that, and so Walt Disney has given the "Pastoral Symphony" a mythological setting, and the setting is of Mount Olympus, the abode of the gods. And here, first of all, we meet a group of fabulous creatures of the field and forest: unicorns, fawns, Pegasus the flying horse and his entire family, the centaurs, those strange creatures that are half man and half horse, and their girlfriends, the centaurettes. Later on, we meet our old friend Bacchus, the god of wine, presiding over a bacchanal. The party is interrupted by a storm, and now we see Vulcan forging thunderbolts and handing them over to the king of all the gods, Zeus, who plays darts with them. As the storm clears, we see Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, and Apollo, driving his sun chariot across the sky. And then Morpheus, the god of sleep, covers everything with his cloak of night as Diana, using the new moon as a bow, shoots an arrow of fire that spangles the sky with stars.
