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?
Bartok string 4et #1, any John Abercrombie ballad, David Gilmour solos from Pink Floyd albums. Hows that for variety, me in a nutshell, very moving stuff IMO. P.S. I like the term "achingly beautiful", very nice.
Do I notice an ECM theme in this thread towards the end? Not surprising, I think my CD collection is probably 25% ECM, and it sure is achingly beautiful- from all the etherial jazzers, to the 'new series' gorgeous 20th c. orchestral composers- too many to mention. M.E. sure has some sweet ears.
