Most achingly-beautiful music

I also enjoy a lot of classical pieces mentioned above. But let me go aginst the grain here. I think 'the future sound of london's work notably ' life forms' and ' dead cities( later part)'are the electronic music's classical equals. Full of intricate melodies that touches your heart. There are other albums before these two, which are good but nothing like the two mentioned. I say these two are going in to the history as late 2000 electronic classicals.

Hi Detlof

Both vinyl and CD. I will check on your recommendations. Thanks. Will

Yes,Rcprince, especially the second movement. When I heard that for the first time, it was almost a mystical expierience, like a prayer, and had tears streaming down my face.....and I don't tend to "hystericalisms". It was one of the great musical moments of my life. The other two were the main theme of Bach's Musical Offering and the beginning of Mozart's Requiem. Those were moments, I'll never forget and they belong to the inner treasures of the heart which make life worth living.

Jules Massenet's Intermezzo from Thaiis only played by Michel Schwalbe of the Berlin Philharmonic
Try to find the "flower" Label LP pressing of this great Karajan record of opera intermezzi. The LP was
KARAJAN: OPERN INTERMEZZI, DGG (138 OR 139 SERIES) 1968
BERLIN PHILHARMONIC. Do NOT get the EMI Intermezzi record, its not the same.
The playing is none finer .The version is one for all time.
Pure Magic. If you dont care for Karajan(his first Beethoven Cycle is still unsurpassed [early 60s], you will after this LP..........Frank
