Hi all...
Mine...
Rachmaninoff`s Piano Concerto No 2...
All three movements if this piece are breathtaking...
It is the only track ever that can bring a tear to my eye...
Snippets used in many films and pop tracks...

Yes, a very good piece, but would you say it's better than his Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini?
If anything, both are so good that they suffer from being played too often.

Hi Rhakios...
> but would you say it's better than his Rhapsody on a
> theme of Paganini?
Personally, yes I would...
Maybe any Bach, like Toccato and Fuge in D Minor or
Chopin like Etude in C# Minor......

......this is truly an artist at work...
But what is your favourite piece of music that brings a
tear to your eye for ANY reason?...

Well, you're not going to like the answer I have. I don't have any single favourite piece of music, any more than I have a favourite film, book, piece of art, television programme etc.. For the simple reason that when ever I think how much I like something in particular, I can always think of something else I like for a slightly different reason, in a slightly different way.
I could probably pin it down to about 30 or 50, in no particular order, if that would help.

| Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto is my favourite gem - written as a present for his son. |

I used to listen to quite a lot of music when I was younger but as I get older I really don't have the same kind of attraction to it. As you might have guessed I don't have a record/CD collection. |

Saturn from Holst, Nimrod from Elgar, Ripple from the Grateful Dead, Silly Sally from Sweet Smoke, Irene From Leadbelly, Wonderful World from Satchmo; the list goes on and on I don't believe John Cage actually liked music either

Hi jamie_tickner...
Through less than 1% efficient "Hi Fi" speakers or seriously
loud 10-20% efficient PA gear?
I`ve had seriously high powered gear for more than three
decades and now I am deaf in one ear... :(

Well at least you get to enjoy all those old mono recordings without any noticeable loss of quality.
