Achingly Beautiful Music?

[Musicfirst]

How ever it is conveyed; vocal, piano, strings or horns, what is your most beautiful piece of music or album?

Carly Simon "Into White". The entire album is beautifully sung, instrumented and recorded. Sounds wonderful with great air and separation between each note, especially with a great tube amp like my 300b and Lawrence Audio Violin's (and my new Klipsch Palladium monitors).

Second movement of the Brahms Double Concerto (Violin and Cello). Beginning of third movement of the Brahms Second Piano Concerto (Cello solo).

Mike.......Thanks for the Liz Longley video. Unraveling is such a hauntingly beautiful and sad song.

I went right over to Amazon and ordered her debut CD.

Here is another Liz Longley video. She has a wonderful voice.

Dan, except for the last song on the album, her entire Hot Loose Wire album has wonder songs like that. During her Sarasota concert, she told the crowd how she can literally write 25 songs a week.

Here's another gem from the same album:
