Your favorite classical 'song' (or whatever)


I know most of us here like classical music and there are some performers here. I have a question: What is the single classical composition that touches you the most deeply?

I'm not a particular sensitive person but I'll start this off by citing a a work that reduces me to a quivering blob of protoplasm. From Jules Massenet's Thaïs, the beautiful Méditation for violin.

I love Nicola's Porpora "Alto Giove". The most beautiful aria ever made IMHO.

Probably Mozart's Confutatis or Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2
Too bad they're sooo short.
