Marvellous experience then... I cannot forgot the Allegri Miserere piece nor the Spem in Alium of Thomas Tallis first listening... I was and are always stunned.. 😊

Four Seasons of Vivaldi, (no doubts!). But only this audiophile version (tubes recording only version) on Tacet with Daniel Gaede (violin) Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, Wojciech Rajski The sound quality is incredible! and the music is sublime, it is for me the best version because of some balance between the old "romantic" interpretation and those influenced by the authentic instrument interpretation with a more Baroque sense of improvisation .
Bob Dylan albums in the sixties... almost any...( nevermind the sound!) Dylan is a poet as Leonard Cohen or Leo Ferré... Other possible choices...
Spem in Alium by Tallis interpreted by Cambridge choir. ( an ocean of voices on a sea were the soul is at the same time at home and lost ) The Cambridge choir version is the most hypnotic but not the cleanest one...
Shahram Nazeri - Mystified album... The best sufi album i ever heard completely stunning and ectatic) If you dont pray God here you dont have a soul!
I could have put in its place Hildegard of Bingen music with feminine voice choir... Ex aequo...
Or Josquin Des Prez masses, or Liszt Christus by Antal Dorati.... or a raga by the master of Sitar Nikhil Banerjee who is on par with Ravi Shankar but less well known ...😊
