Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?
Stevie Ray Vaughan's rendition of Hendrix's "Little Wing" (Jimi's wasn't too bad either), Bruce Springsteen "My City of Ruin" from "America: Tribute to Heroes" (could include several cuts from that set). On the other end of the emotional spectrum, "Key to the Highway" from Derek and the Dominoes "Layla and other assorted love songs". Something magical was going on between Clapton and Duane Allman in the studio during those sessions, and it may have been captured best on this track.
OK, herewith my contributions from the Baroque catalog:
From the 2-CD album of the complete Albinoni Concertos, Opus 9, with Christopher Hogwood (Decca 289 458 129-2), the following movements:
a) Concerto No. 2 in D minor - Adagio - Track 5 CD 1 b) Concerto No. 11 in B flat minor - Allegro - Track 13 CD 2
And from Frederic Chopin, as interpreted by Arthur Rubenstein in a 2 CD set on EMI Classics (1992), the Nocturne in C sharp minor, possibly the most symmetrically beautiful of Chopin's creations.
