AIBU to ask for what you think is the most beautiful piece of classical music you have ever heard

[Myworstnightmare123]

I want to put together a playlist for my DD as she has a horrendously difficult time ahead of her (you can search my username to see why) I am hoping it will help her in some way...calm her. Take her mind off things.

mahler 9th sinfonie adagio for strings

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto In A Major, K. 622: Adagio has always been my favourite.

Let's face it, @BadMoon - it could be worse.

I'm so pleased several PPs have mentioned Spiegal Im Spiegal by Argo Part. I first heard it on the radio a few days after my DH died and listening to it made me truly believe that energy and spirit are eternal. Even though I am not religious at all something in that piece of music lifted me and comforted me in a way I can't really explain.

A link for Albinoni Adagio

This is a beautiful classical guitar version of a Bach adagio. Very relaxing and moving.

Elgar's cello concerto and Fingal's Cave from Mendelssohn's Hebrides overture are my favourites. Bruch's violin concerto in G minor also has a special place in my heart as my dad introduced me to it when I was quite young. He said the first time he heard it he cried.

It's an operatic vocal, but The Pearls Fishers duet, Au Fond du Temple Saint is just so, so moving.

Ludivico Einaudi - i love le onde and i giorni

I really like Mozart's requiem. Yes it's a requiem but it's very powerful and good to listen to.

Also Saint Saens, Le Cygne. So simple, but utterly beautiful (especially if you love the cello).

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto

debussy bergamasque

Another vote for Barber’s Adagio for Strings

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso by Ennio Morricone. (It helps that it is from the soundtrack of the best movie of all time!)

Chi Mai from the life and times of David Lloyd George, by Ennio Morricone. It's just beautiful.

Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor.
Also the Atonement soundtrack.

Una furtiva lacrima is a beautiful love song especially when sung by Pavarotti

Largo al Factotum is great fun

The duet from the Pearl Fishers is beautiful

Another vote for Gabriel's oboe.

Realise this is an older thread but want to come back to it later!!

The Five Varients of Dives and Lazarus

Tchaikovsky's violin concerto in d major is my favourite :)

Argh! I didn't clock it was a zombie thread. Still, there are worse ones to bring back right now.

Ave verum corpus - Mozart.

Cliche but Beethoven Ode To Joy.

Vaughan-Williams symphony number 5.
Grace Williams trumpet concerto
Chopin second piano concerto
