Status: offline 		I don't listen to classical music all that often, but it moves me in a way that no other form of music can.

The first time I heard Miserere by Gregorio Allegri, I cried. Perhaps it was the mood I was in, but I closed my eyes, put my head back, listened and felt the tears run down my cheeks. Even if it doesn't move you in the same way, it is definitely a beautiful piece of music. I suppose I should thank Simon Blaise for it. It was on his web site that I first heard it. Apparently he liked to scene to it, from what he described on the page. I don't think he has it on his current site though. The best version I've heard has been done by the Tallis Scholars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKj1iK2WKS8

Is there any particular classical music piece that moves you?

It has been known to move me to tears.

Like you, I don't listen on a regular basis but yes I do enjoy listening. Pretty much anything with a stringed instrument in it.

I love the violin most, whether it be darkly played, sad or happy, rock to classical..something about the way it sounds, excites me emotionally.
I love all that I've listened to by Vivaldi.
Here's one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E-RTI-H2oI

These aren't classical but...

Here is a Ted talk that will explain so much about what you feel.
This conductor will show you that you love classical music, you
just don't know it yet.  While he is doing it he moves his audience
(and perhaps you) from laughter to tears.  And leaves them
(and perhaps you) feeling uplifted.

As far as I was concerned, classical was the only music that should be played on the piano. Until I had a music teacher when I was a teenager who insisted that I learn to play Bumble Bee Boogie. I expanded my rule about the piano to include jazz, ragtime & boogie. As an adult, I finally began to enjoy rock piano & keyboard.

Status: offline 		I love the classics.  I went to a 4 string one night with Bo and it was lovely (Bartok).  Sometimes I ask the cab driver to put the radio on the channel when I get to Austin.

I can play some of Beethoven (Ode of Joy).

If I can find sheet music, I tend to buy it.  I wish Lizard can go to a musical school where she can expand her skills (she can play viola, violin, keyboard).  She wishes to work on her dance skills because she wishes to work on Broadway (I knew that trip to NY was going to get in her head).

I hope she gets her diploma after this week.  She just needs $100 from the home school site.  Travis and I will pay $50 each and she can find out what to do to get her enrolled in college.  I wish she becomes a linguist (she is good in Latin and French) and she wants to learn German (thank goodness that campus has German).

Gotta go. too many things to do and so tired to get them in a time frame.

For me Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, second movement, the addagio (which was redone brilliantly by Miles Davis & Gil Evans on the seminal "Sketches of Spain" album) and probably Beethoven's third symphony in E-Flat major, (the Eroica)  Opus # 55.

There are others, but those two get me the most.

Classically,

And around the holidays, you can't beat the Hallelujah Chorus in a big cathedral with the all the organ stops full out :)

I fell in love the song 2 long years before I learned the words . . . having been in the music industry, I was in awe of its perfection.  Rarely can a piece of music convey such emotion.  Even without knowing the words it made me feel a range of emotion from sorrow to a feeling of peaceful resolve.  It became an anthem I would play everyday in the car on the way to work because it charged me emotionally and reinforced my leather heart . . . it "put me on my Domly square".  Imagine my surprise when I finally stumbled across the lyrics. 

And thinking of her
Sweet sleep overcame me

I am your master
See your heart
And of this burning heart
Your heart
She trembling
Obediently eats.
Weeping, I saw him then depart from me.

Joy is converted
To bitterest tears

I am in peace
My heart
I am in peace
See my heart

Status: offline 		i recently stumbled across a classical music channel on my radio, much to my delight and surprise! Seems it's mostly either pop/top 40-ish/etc., which is ok, but gets repetitive, or the spanish/mexican stations. i'll definitely be listening to this new station more often, though!

I'm fond of Arvo Pärt, particularly Cantus In Memory of Benjamin Britten, Summa For Strings or Festina Lente for Strings and Harp Ad Libitum. Very moving music, but very sad, so if you're one who slits your wrists often, perhaps you should avoid those pieces.

Concerto for Harpsichord and String Quartet, Op. 40: I. Allegro molto (Harpsichord Version), by Henryk Górecki is fun in a sinister sort of way. I'm a bit of a sucker for harpsichord.

That was a wonderful presentation and watching him breath life into Chopin was amazing.

I had a completely different vision of what the link led to. But after seeing your post, I decided to visit. You're right, it is a wonderful presentation. I wish he would tour, he's very energetic and so completely entertaining. :)
