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?

Isn't it? One of my top-10, for certain.
If you like that, try out Nick Drake "Pink Moon".
I really enjoy Tim Buckley as well!
good suggestions Boa2.
and im all for jamie cullum. his cover of "high and dry" is fantastic but he totally ruined "Lover you shouldve come over"
Dvorak New World, Moody Blue Nights in White Satan (or practically any other Moody Blues), Saint-Saens Sym 3 Organ.
.
Dvorak Romance for Violin and Orchestra (Anne Akiko Meyers playing violin)
.
Ralph Vaughan Williams, "The Lark Ascending" - romance for violin and Orchestra (Anne Akiko Meyers).
.
Both pieces are on an out of print CD that has Anne Akiko Meyers playing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, both pieces above and Massenet's Meditation.
.
This is just a gorgeous, gorgeous CD that is worth looking for on eBay. Anne’s playing is just heavenly and the music is to die for.
