Most achingly-beautiful music

Dwight Yoakum

"It Won't Hurt" acoustic version

URAH HEAP!!

Barbers Adagio....probably strings. Pink Floyd- The Great Gig in the Sky. Beethoven- Moonlight Sonata, and I don't even listen to classical...much.

Johnny Frigo with Buck and John Pizzarelli
Live from Studio A in New York City (SACD)

Recorded with a single stereo mic, at the RCA Studios in New York, the music is exquisite and the recording is one of the most natural sounding Live albums that I had the pleasure of hearing!

OK - so there's not one, top of the heap "most achingly beautiful"...many great recommendations as a result. A couple of things I'm listening to lately that seem to qualify for inclusion:

1) 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) from Springsteen's "The Wild the Innocent and....".

2) Fake Plastic Trees from Radiohead's "The Bends"

Apologies if I'm simply duplicating someone else's earlier suggesions.

Ciao.
