a cappella choral arrangement of the famous

 

there's obviously a ton more, especially from the romantic era, but those are just some of my all-time favorites.

 

jazz:

 

John Coltrane- After the Rain

 

 

Art Blakey- Sleep On Sleeping Dancer

 

 

Keith Jarrett's unique and refreshing take on Somewhere Over the Rainbow

 

Acoustic/Folk

 

 

 

the solo guitar workings of

 

from the live album that they recorded together

 

Transatlantic- Bridge Across Forever (technically this would fall under prog as well, but it's instrumentation is acoustic by nature.

 

Damien Rice- Delicate

 

 

rock and prog:

 

Porcupine Tree- Heartattack in a Lay-By

 

Queen- You Take My Breath Away

 

the amazing narrative of Dire Straits- Telegraph Road

 

Dream Theater- Hell's Kitchen

The Reign of Kindo- The Moments In Between

 

U2- Kite

???

 

Pat Metheny- Last Train Home

 

 

a deeply moving track from the Inception soundtrack.

 

a track originally by Jerry Goodman, adapted to become a drumming showcase by Todd Sucherman- Tears of Joy

 

...wait, were we talking about beautiful music, or beautiful musicians?

Quite possibly my favorite song by my favorite band of all time. Just puts me in a different place The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 Also by the same band, a little known b-side that is better than a majority of their actual released songs. The Smashing Pumpkins - Set The Ray To Jerry

This was a revelation,really wasnt expecting to get much from this but i liked it a lot.

not big in the u.k however

Probably the best ballad ever written...poignant and soulful without descending into mushy sentimentality with gorgeous three part vocal harmonies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8LmDCdTLFI

kings x ,sure why not,nothing groundbreaking here pretty standard fare for this genre ,as noted nice harmonies

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No.9 in D minor, Op. 125: III. Adagio molto e cantabile All the more beautiful when you realize he was completely deaf when he wrote this. Just stunningly gorgeous. Frederic Chopin - Etude No. 3 in E Major, Op. 10 'Tristesse' Never fails to tear me up. I remember reading somewhere that even Chopin himself said that he "would never again write such a beautiful melody"

Wow yeah this is georgous,close your eyes and this will take you places.

shame about the background noise on beethoven...

why cant people stop fidgeting and clearing there throats? its called respect.

Not heard of her before now but i will be checking out more of her work. Her first album came out in 1988 called "Union". Her music style is basically world music. She did a few more albums but there was a long period in the nineties where she didn't release anything.   I have a couple of her albums. She does great ballads.
