Django's Nuage. Makes me want to cry.
Toots and The Maytals- Take me Home, Country Road. Toots loves his West Jamaica, he does not like to tour for that reason. I consider him right there with Otis redding, Aretha Franklin.
Of course, Beethovens 9th.
Mozarts Eine Kleine Nacht Music, Budapest Quartet.
Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness.
Wilson Picket 6345789
Stevie Wonder Innervisions

Great thread!
My vote is for Mozarts Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, Budapest String Quartet. My Lp is old and worn- wish i could find another copy.
Another which moves me is Django's "Nuage". My favorite is on a French label CD. There are many poor recordings of Djangos music which do not do him justice. But he had the FIRE (no pun intended, no disrespect).
One more, Otis Reddings- Try A Litlle Tenderness.
Great Thread!!!
Mozart!!!
Clarinet Quintet, K. 581
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Budapest Quartet.
This is my favorite classical-( Chamber Music) LP or CD. I don't listen to very much Clasaical. If I could find more of this emotional attack of everry note, strings laying sweet weavings of rocky layers, dancing, prancing clarinet creeping, flying- soaring- over the wonderful fabric that each of the 4 strings create before me, I would seek the music out with the same passion with which the artists perform.
This is magical.
Brook.
By John Reischmann, CD is North of The Border. One of the best mandolin Bluegrass/Jazz CDs I know of. A must!
??? Has anyone made a list of the most mentioned music on this thread?
If so, I'd love a copy of that list.
Thanks
