Most achingly-beautiful music


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?

Bermudapilot, the Alegri and the Faure and sublime. I count myself lucky to have performed them.
Who do you have doing them.

Don't know Nick Drake.

Bermudapilot - absolutely, "The River Man". Thanks for posting that. Great string arrangements on this and other tracks of this recording.

e - if you aren't familiar with Nick Drake, you are in for a treat (I hope). He's dead but his music lives on (to use a cliche). The River Man is on a recording called, Five Leaves Left. Hope you will check him out.
Bermuda; You need to play the Allegri this Wednesday, since it was written to be sung on Ash Wednesday at the Sistine Chapel. Don't wash the ash off either.It makes for better listening.
