Most achingly-beautiful music

for me it's earth, wind and fire's sun goddess and gratitude album and santana's greatest hits and smooth jazz volume 2. I use these sound tracks to test my various solid state and tube systems and my electrostat and planar loudspeakers. Hearing various instruments is what moves me. I didn't know a few watts on a well made tube amp and tube cdp on an ess heil 1D modified would sound so live!

Almarg: After I had to put my dog down, I had a dream we were playing in the yard. The whole time we were playing, I heard Chopin's piano sonata No. 3...........maybe I shouldn't have posted this.

To me the most beautiful 2 minutes of music Chopin ever wrote is Prelude #4. It has that otherworldy, divinely insipred quality to it....

Chopin Nocturne. Op 9 No 2.

Stephane Grappelli and Barney Kessel: "I Remember Django"
