AlanHo Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 By nature I am cursed with a placid nature but there are some pieces of music that can cut through this and turn me into an emotional wreck – and they are : Elgar: Enigma Variations / Rattle · Berliner Philharmoniker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQWAO9d43LY Elgar: Enigma Variations/Dianne Bish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQuVC1SeJ7Q I was privileged to attend a performance by Dianne Bish during a trip to Houston many years ago. It wasn’t the performance recorded in the video - but was just as moving. The other musical piece that I find truly moving is:- Con Te Partiro (Time To Say Goodbye) performed by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. Perhaps because I had it played at my late wife’s funeral which reduced the congregation to a blubbering tearful heap. I still find it difficult to listen to – it stirs so many sad and lovely memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_yCwFD6Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 You have more taste than I credited you with. Here as a matter of interest is yet another version of Nimrod, very listenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 The brass band rendition was quite good - but spoiled for me by the conducting - the tempo drifted a little at various places in the piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think the old time genuine New Orleans Jazz comes out on top in my view (or should it be ear?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
