Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears


This is mine, light classical piano. What's yours?

 

ryder

I won't say that anything invokes that kind of reaction in me, but, there are some extremely beautiful or otherwise evocative music that I really love:

The second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto

Schubert's String Quintet (D. 956)

Korngold, Die Tote Stadt-duet "Gluck, das mir verlieb"

Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2

Etta James' version of "Lovin Arms"

The nomination of "Our Town" by @waltersalas is a great one. I’ll add her devastating song "No Time To Cry" (also done by Merle Haggard). Then there is Brian Wilson’s "God Only Knows", as good as songwriting gets, with wonderful singing by his brother Carl. Another is "The Weight" by The Band, and "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted", sung by Jimmy Ruffin (Joan Osborne also recorded great versions of the song, both live and in the studio)..

without a doubt, Alison Krauss - Ghost in this House

of course, any number of Hiatt songs… Lipstick Sunset, etc.

The great Lucinda Williams with Dust

Loved the mention of Nanci Griffith - her beyond brilliant Other Voices, Other Rooms
