Most achingly-beautiful music


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?

My vote is for Mozarts Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, Budapest String Quartet. My Lp is old and worn- wish i could find another copy.
Another which moves me is Django's "Nuage". My favorite is on a French label CD. There are many poor recordings of Djangos music which do not do him justice. But he had the FIRE (no pun intended, no disrespect).
One more, Otis Reddings- Try A Litlle Tenderness.
Great Thread!!!
Chet Baker's "The touch of your lips" 1979 / Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" - MN Orchestra - Prof Johnson HDCD / Bukkene Bruse "Wedding March from Osterdalen" Northside 2002 sampler
Django's Nuage. Makes me want to cry.
Toots and The Maytals- Take me Home, Country Road. Toots loves his West Jamaica, he does not like to tour for that reason. I consider him right there with Otis redding, Aretha Franklin.
Of course, Beethovens 9th.
Mozarts Eine Kleine Nacht Music, Budapest Quartet.
Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness.
Wilson Picket 6345789
Stevie Wonder Innervisions
