Most achingly-beautiful music

...Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" on her "Live at Blues Alley" CD. Simply the most beautiful, evocative and emotionally connected vocal performance of this song that I've ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes every time. The rest of the CD is phenomenal as well.

The Marriage Of Figaro (Act 3: Duettino) Most of you remember this from the movie The Shawshank Redemption. This beautiful music was played over the prison P.A. system and brought the entire prison to a standstill, and almost created a riot.

The Songs of Crazy Horse by J. D. Blackfoot. Have loved it for almost thirty years.

John Williams "Cavatina", the classical guitar theme from the movie "The Deerhunter" with Robert De Niro. Heard it 20 years ago, still haunts me to this day.

#1 Tchaikovsky's Symp. No. 5 in E Minor (Mstislav Rostropovich conducting the London Philharmonic is exemplary)

#2 Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola (as performed by Henryk Szeryng and Bruno Giuranna with the New Philharmonia directed by Alexander Gibson)

#3 Dire Strait's Brothers in Arms
