I can't stop playing this song on Hank Jones (wonderfully lyrical pianist) For My Father cd. "Pauletta"
Jesse Sykes ' " Reckless Burning" and " Oh my girl" . Try to get Vinyl. Oh my my !!
Parts of The Swan are nice . Tchaikovsky has a few snippets in his ballets as well.
So many, so many, (lots of them by Puccini like Un Bel Di,but right near the top of my list now would be The Grey Havens from Howard Shore's soundtrack to The return Of The King.
This is a great thread! So many to write down and check out!
