Most achingly-beautiful music

Do make the effort to chase down the Anne Akiko Meyers / Mendelssohn CD. Just put a search on eBay and it will turn up fairly soon. It is well worth your time and trouble and a keeper for life.

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. His take on Cohen gives me goosebumps.

Oh yea, Jeff Buckley, what a loss. Too bad someone wasn't around to yank him out of that river...a voice of operatic scope in the rock idiom.

"Nessun Dorma"; Pavarotti of course, but almost any version will bring tears.
"Siegfried's Funeral March", preferably Soti, but as above.
Side 2 of "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle.

Terence Blanchard "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)". This is an amazing and haunting CD, especially the second cut "Levees". I've had this in my cd player non-stop for the last week since it was delivered.

I bought this after reading a review of it in the Washington Post. It was released this month (Agust '07), and is a must have for all Jazz fans!
