I listened to an NPR interview with a French pianist recently. She said she believed, "music is the most direct path to the spiritual world." This struck me as, more or less, an absolute statement. I am inclined to conclude that music simply "works" for this pianist.

I would pose the following question to the forum:

Does the medium of photography, likewise, provide a "path" to the spiritual world?

The interview really stimulated my thinking. Is it true that music possesses unique power to the exclusion of other media?
