The Best Music You Have Ever Heard?


To be specific, what three pieces of music are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you feel happy and relaxed? Plus, needless to say, happy with your system. I know the answer to the question is highly subjective and personal. Here are my three choices (in no particular order):
 
1. Sunshine In The Rain, by Ryan Farish  - From the CD Beautiful.
 
2. Summer Wind, by Frank Sinatra - From the album Strangers In The Night, streamed via Qobuz.
 
3. Samba Pa Ti, by Santana - From the MFSL UltraDisc One-Step album Abraxas.
 
Please share your thoughts on your selection and feel free to nominate more than three choices.

Josquin Des Prez then Bach then Scriabin....

 

I feel guilty of forgetting easy  Vivaldi,  sophisticated Monteverdi, and sublime Gesualdo... 

What about Liszt? and Bruckner? 

I apologize to Beethoven Quatuors master and to Mozart writing  piano concertos before the Requiem....

How in the world could i dare  to pass over madness of Sorabji ?

I’m all over the place with the music that makes me smile. Every time I hear Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, by the Stones, I crank it up. But I do the same with a bunch of Jazz artists, Show tunes, movie soundtracks and classical.

What Sorabji piece is a possible top three favorite?  Is it the "Fuga a Quattro Soggetti" from his "Clavicembalisticum/"  I don't have that much of his insanely long and complicated works, but, I would be interested to know what others like a lot.
