What does seeing do..

 ...and don't say believing, cause seeing is not believing. No matter how spectacular something is it cannot be captured alone through one sense. Infact, I dare to say that it is sort of a direct relationship when a thing is more spectacular it is that much harder to represent until it reaches the point of impossibility to communicate. But Richard Wagner wanted to do it, he wanted to redemonstrate feelings through using all senses. Such a lofty ambition is referred to as Gesamkuntwerk. My dad often complained that recordings never do justice to the feeling a piece of music "felt" in person.
