Reading this through made me realise just how much music I do like. I'll have to have another listen to some of the ones mentioned. Has anyone mentioned Samuel Barber's Adaggio for Strings?

and one whose title eludes me but it goes ...through the heather tracks with heaven in their wiles/wilds

I remember the very first poem I learned at the age of five at school.

The thing is I still sing them around the house.

Rollo - "Without music life would be a mistake." Nice.

I think the correct spelling is Nietzsche lol

One of my all time favourite quotes is by Fritz Lang: “To begin with, I should say that I am a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or only rarely, with my ears - to my constant regret.”

I get goose bumps when I hear the theme tune to the t.v series "The World at War"

Song from childhood that bought tears to my eyes was. "Scarlet Ribbons" It can still bring a lump to my throat.
I will have to trot of to youtube to find them.

I remember "sampling " records I was going to buy, on a Blaupunkt Radiogram,
in the shop......and Cavelleria Rusticana is high on my list of spine tingling reverberations.......
very first records I bought were Griegs piano concerto on 78's
and Tchaikovskys, no.1
