[AlanHo]

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

Elgar: Enigma Variations/Dianne Bish

Enigma Variations for Organ "Nimrod" - Diane Bish - YouTube


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.
