Most achingly-beautiful music

Off the wall, but serious: Dog's Breath Variations, F Zappa, Uncle Meat

I can't just make it 3:

Bach's Mass in B Minor
Bruckner Symphony #8
Prelude to Wagner's Parsifal
Sibelius Symphony #7
Berg Violin Concerto
Beethoven's Missa Solemnis
Part's Litany
Petterson's Symphony #7

Sibelius, what about your own concerto for violin? C. Ferras/Karajan, for example? Also, if M. Solemnis would you accept Brahms Deutsche Requiem? (Klemperer, maybe)
Cheers!

I first listened to the Boston Camerata's "Musee Judeo Baroque by Salaman Rossi" on this label. This was before I had an audiophile hardware budget. I wasn't even a classical music fan then you see. But the sheer beauty of the music did something to my ears. For some reason, I kept turning to this particular CD. All I can say is that "warmth, liquid mid range" etc comes from the recording and not from $2000 wires.

The Audio Critic magazine said they were in "awe" of this label and I agree. Sound quality is better than on 24/96 and even HDCD or SACD recordings - even on their old recordings. Must be superior sound engineers?

Then they started a budget label ($5.98/disk) called clasicalexpress.com

Check out their sampler for $2.98 at :

Just used my father's day gift certificate at amazon to get Barber's Adagio for Strings, etc. recommended here. While I was snooping around, I finally found a cd of Bach: Cantatas and Arias with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Used to have it on vinyl and had about given up! Highly recommended. Thanks, people.
