Though my favorite composers are Brahms and Dvorak, it is Mahler's music more than any other composer's that instills in me the feeling I'm experiencing one's deeply personal odyssey. His intermittent bittersweetness and sentimentality are most affecting.
Music that really stirs your emotions
ok, I know all music is suppose to stir your emotions . . . but stick with me.
I put the original Boz Scaggs album on the TT this morning. This has always been one of my favorites - I played it constantly while in college in the mid-70's, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Side 2 is one of the best album sides aver recorded IMO - the sequence of songs is perfect. Anyway, It's unavoidable to get sucked into "Loan me a Dime" from the beginning (foot tapping, head bobbing, etc), but about 3/4's of the way through Duane Allman's solo I begin to giggle uncontrollably. Then after all that, it goes into "Sweet Release", which really does help release all that energy from the prior track.
What music most stirs emotions for you - whether it's giggling, crying, or ?
