After a post in another thread, I got to thinking about how some music can bring about such powerful emotions just on hearing it. I used to lay on my back with headphones on and just get transported away, lost in the beauty of some of the music.

A favourite of mine is Ennio Morricone who has done some absolute masterpieces - the man is a genius!

Post your own favourites here to share.

Here are a few tracks to get started with that I find incredible to listen to.


On earth as it is in heaven - (main theme and variation of Gabriel's Oboe) from The Mission - Ennio Morricone

Gabriel's Oboe - from The Mission - Ennio Morricone

Casualties of War - from Casualties of War - Ennio Morricone

Cockey's Song - from Once upon a time in America - Ennio Morricone

Il Tramonto (The Sundown) - Ennio Morricone

Music sings to the soul, the thread that holds us to the dream.
To hear the music is to step closer to the source.
to understand it and make it is to be like the creator itself.
music starts at 10secs in first video

Not sure if you intended this to be classical only, but part of this song is rather moving, in a -gaze / psychedelic kind of way. A dynamic change occurs at minute mark 2:43 which is what I'm talking about...

apart from morricone, i have to say pretty disappointing

so my turn, although most of you won't connect with this





obviously the magic from raga& indian classical comes from a full live performance with a long alap and those where just snapshot of it

I'm a massive Gregorian chants fan, Latin catholic music, most songs have pure stories. Also a big fan of patriotic classical music like rule Britania and Jerusalem.

As a pianist, it's many classical pieces that are the ones that move me the most...Elgar, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Lizst, Schumann, Beethoven.

The Genius that is Mozart:



My favourite piano concerto:



Probably the most thought&emotion-provoking piece by Beethoven:



(Also always had a soft spot for good classic RnB, as I'm a soppy person like that)
