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?
04-09-05: Newbee Faure's Requiem, in the original version, by Herreweghe on Harmonia Mundi. This is one of the most intimate, serenely beautiful, and works in the catalog (that I have ever heard). Sounds nothing(!) like the fully orchestrated version, or even Herreweghe's later version made with large forces, which is also excellent by any standard. I would choose this for my own memorial service! Newbee (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread)
