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?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already, but Warren Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is both beautiful and a heartstring-tugger, given that he recorded it in the last month's of his life.
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!!!
Chet Baker's "The touch of your lips" 1979 / Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" - MN Orchestra - Prof Johnson HDCD / Bukkene Bruse "Wedding March from Osterdalen" Northside 2002 sampler
