What Is Your ‘Perfect ‘ Piece Of Music?

[naomi24]

My husband said tonight that Prokofiev’s ‘Dance of the Knights’ from Romeo & Juliet is, in his opinion, a perfect piece of music. Stirring, he said; enough to encourage one to fight for one’s country, he said. Got say for me it’s slightly unsettling, but there you are.

My choice would be Puccini’s ‘'Che gelida manina', from La Boheme. Goosebump central! I weep buckets every time I hear it – at live performances too – the last time at the wonderful ‘wedding cake’ of a venue that is Prague Opera House - although on that occasion I might be justified in holding the superb gin & tonic served there responsible.. ;o)

Another is Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’. I can party all by myself to that!!
