This thread isn't going where you think it is!

Just listened to this and found myself in floods of tears very unexpectedly. Wagner - what a git. He does it to me every time.

So, what makes you cry?

He's freakin' awesome, isn't he? Richard Strauss does the same thing to me with the Four Last Songs. *sob*

As much as I love Wagner I think the Four Last Songs are some of the most moving, incredibly beautiful music ever written. The last, 'Im Abendrot', is off the planet

Well if I had to select a Beethoven piece it would undoubtedly be the adagio molto e cantabile from the 9th symphony, music of such immense depth, beauty and infinite sadness.

There are others I would add, if we're talking music e.g. 'Contessa perdono' from Le Nozze di Figaro

Guitar concerto Rodrigo de Aranjuez does it for me every time.

Oh, and yet another thread with classical music references gets moved to the Twilight Zone of the 'Music' forum.

If the mods had read the OP they would've seen that it was about what makes you cry. It doesn't say 'what music makes you cry'. That's just how people decided to answer...

Well there's 'Music' and then there's 'music'. Despite what the mods think there is no genuine connection between the two. One is an art form that ranks with sculpture, literature and painting as representing the finest products of Western civilisation, and the other isn't.

Wotan banishing Brunnhilde in Die Walkure is the one that gets me.

Just to annoy the mods, I'm going to pull the thread back to the topic it was originally meant to be about...

Tess Of The D'Urbevilles. One of my favourite novels, ever. But an absolute nightmare to read, it upsets me so much.

I do think that moving it so soon was a knee-jerk reaction.

Would have to say Beethoven's "Moonlight sonata" and also "Adagio for strings" by Samuel Barber...
