hungryear
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.
Jimi,,"Castles Made of Sand","Angel" Sade, Mackenzie & William Jackson "Ba Mo Leanabh(Oh My Baby)on Linn Records.
Beatles Abbey Road always gets me. Never Fails

Same thing Miles Davis's Kind of Blue, especially So What

Last one hard to choose, but have to go for women vocals given "achingly beautiful" i guess...that's eva cassidy's live album
