Micheal Crichton wrote some early novels under a pseudonym. In one of them the character goes thru an unlocked door after his friend doesn't respond to the doorbell. He finds the friend sitting on the floor in a lotus position, motionless, turned away with headphones on. Upon approach, he see the friend steadily crying. "What's wrong, what happened?" "Nothing's wrong, I just listened to the Adagio d'Albinoni". Probably was Gary Karr on double bass w/organ accompaniment. Cheers, Spencer |
Yeah, I know, most people think of angular, dark progressive music when they think of King Crimson. But they have more than their share of beautiful pieces. Here are just 2: King Crimson - Exiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD0DBGqk6_A King Crimson - Night Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwFYy_Th7BA

"Epilogue" from Les Miserable does it every time and I suspect I am not alone.
"Sunrise Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof......never fails!
King Crimson is all about getting, holding then driving home a vice grip on the senses but never quite reach the point of tears with KC generally. Saw their last US performance on 9/11/2021 at The Anthem in DC (now available on CD) and it was quite an experience! Most gripping and often delving into beautiful but with a touch of irony usually. Take the tune "Epitaph". Beautiful musically but nothing beautiful about the subject material. |
