Pink Floyd's "THE WALL", Roxy music's "AVALON",the Who's "TOMMY" and Holst "THE PLANETS"
Gounod's "Ave Maria" performed to a Samba rhythum by the Brazilian artist Jorge Aragao. Hard to imagine right? Well it is just a beautiful arrangement and performance and its L!!!I!!V!!E. Label: Universal Mfg's Catalog#: 1001192
My 2 cents worth
Rach piano 2 - the whole thing drips emotion !!
Shostakovich piano 2- 2nd movement
Bruch - violin concerto -2nd movement -kyung wha chung on the decca label

of modern music Heart siging live "love hurts" by Nazareth - never cared for the original but boy does she really sound like she means it
and finally Chris Issak - "end of everything" from the forever blue album.
Thanks to all the contributions here - there are some pieces i have never heard but will go out and find that im sure i will love and i hope my selections do the same.
