Most achingly-beautiful music

Tubegroover do you speak LP or CD or both?
What you should definitely try to get is the rendering by the Alban Berg Quartet and while we are at it, try the Schubert Quintet in C minor also by the Alban Berg Quartet. Don't recall now, who plays the other cello, perhaps Rostropovitch, but I'm not sure. There is also a wonderful rendering with Heifetz, Piatigorski and Primrose on RCA shaded dog and by the great Casals with Isaac Stern on Phillips.
Regards,

I also enjoy a lot of classical pieces mentioned above. But let me go aginst the grain here. I think 'the future sound of london's work notably ' life forms' and ' dead cities( later part)'are the electronic music's classical equals. Full of intricate melodies that touches your heart. There are other albums before these two, which are good but nothing like the two mentioned. I say these two are going in to the history as late 2000 electronic classicals.

Hi Detlof

Both vinyl and CD. I will check on your recommendations. Thanks. Will

Tubegroover and Detlof, I believe the RCA Shaded Dog of this piece is one of the best recordings of the work, and one of the more valuable ones out there. Still looking for one...

Yes,Rcprince, especially the second movement. When I heard that for the first time, it was almost a mystical expierience, like a prayer, and had tears streaming down my face.....and I don't tend to "hystericalisms". It was one of the great musical moments of my life. The other two were the main theme of Bach's Musical Offering and the beginning of Mozart's Requiem. Those were moments, I'll never forget and they belong to the inner treasures of the heart which make life worth living.
