Music Messiah? (Spoilers)

Would it be correct to see the main character as a sort of "music Messiah"? In other words, a person who is totally and uncompromisingly dedicated to the highest aspirations of music, which should open people's hearts (his own words, if I'm not mistaken). He seems a bit other-worldly and has apparently never before loved someone other than his mother (who also seems a bit Maria-like in her goodness). Human love, indeed, is so unfamiliar to him that he has to ask Lena how it feels to love. He also never resorts to violence and is a passive recipient of the town bully's (who later becomes a wife beater) assaults. He abhors competition - one should only compete against yourself (and improve own standards), never against others. His bloody death, too, reminds me of Jesus, as he died for his cause (it is implied that his cardiac weakness resulted from the intense stress of maintaining the highest uncompromising musical standards in an imperfect world). Then also his focus on finding and bringing out each person's individual musical tone, which is not unlike Jesus's quest to bring out an individual's best qualities. His clashes with the village pastor equates to Jesus's conflict with the Pharisees. And so one can go on finding links, but it seems to me that this is a main source of the movie's power, these subtle parallels between the main character and the Messiah of the Bible.
