Most Beautiful Piece Of Music you have Heard

Here is a piece by sibelius that not a lot of people have heard, this is the second half of a tone poem entitled "Night Ride and sunrise", I had this as a b side on a recording of the seventh symphony, when I was a teenager, and the recording was old even then. The record wore out years ago, and I was never able to find it again, until last year. This version is by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the young Finnish conductor, Pietari Inkinen.
The Video was taken from about 4.30 in the morning to about 6 am.at  in the village of Mund in the Rhone valley in Switzerland, in 2008. It is of the sunrise and was one of the best moments of my life, so I put the two together. You will have to excuse the birds singing and the church bells but they were there at the time. I hope you enjoy.



It may be just me, but the video does not appear to have embedded itself, if you can't see it , here is the link to you tube

Great gig in the sky, ive cried in the middle of that song many times. To hear that girl singing at the top of her lungs, a perfect representation of humanities cry to break free.

Again extremely beautiful.

 I hadn't listened to Cirrus Minor in so long. Thanks for the reminder! Listening to it now, chirp chirp.

Takes the cake without a doubt

First of all I must admit that I could come back to this topic and have a completely different answer nearly every time.   However, there are parts of Khan's Space Shanty that I always tell myself are the most beautiful thing I've ever heard (when listening to it), such as all throughout Mixed Up Man of the Mountain and Driving to Amsterdam.

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but thinking of "beauty" in music - I tend to get a specific sort of music emanating from the back of my scull:

Adagio by Albinono in classic, or almost anything by Bach. In rock, Rain Down section in Paranoid Android by Radiohead.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
It's got everyting in my book. A perfect piece of music.

Without it there would be no prog. Love it. Thanks!
