Franz Liszt to the barricades of youthful deprivation . . .

With what's on another plane from what they are used to . . .

Both the music, a piece by Franz Liszt so beautiful it would justify God being proud of his creatures, and the reactions it evoked among the young people listening to it affected me deeply. 

My heart grows heavy to see how short young people have been sold. How their natural cravings for beauty, nobility, communion have been denied them. How they have been spiritually starved.

I looked at the rapt visages of the young men and women and saw how completely transported they were by music - by an entire type of music - they had never heard before.

How avidly they thirst for what is higher and purer than what they've hitherto been exposed to.

The piece performed is a selection from Franz Liszt's lengthy piano cycle Années de pèlerinage (Years of pilgrimage), with a suite apiece for each of three years. The title of the number in the video is an allusion to the philosophical novel Obermann (1804) by Étienne Pivert de Senancour.
