Britten: Les Illuminations, Op. 18, sung by one of the loveliest lyric sopranos, Susan Gritton. (She's wonderful in Mozart and Handel, as well.)

Gorécki: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, Op. 36, with soprano Zofia Kilanowicz.

I have every recording of this work, and even though some wonderful sopranos have sung this, including Susan Gritton and Dawn Upshaw, the recording with Zofia Kilanowicz is something apart from those others. This live version with her (I could only find 2nd mvt) is as good as the CD recording; it has exactly the same combination of beauty, grief, purity, hope, despair, fragility, otherwordliness, sharp depths and waterfalls of emotion. I hope you will fall headlong into the music and the meaning, just as I did.

This is the second movement, live.

Here's the whole thing. It's purely instrumental until about 15 minutes in. Superb orchestral playing - it shimmers and weeps to heaven.

I have always loved this piece (and the movie too): John Williams - Schindler's List Theme (violin played by Itzhak Perlman)

That’s electrifying - playing of the highest calibre.

Hear how she’s taken the weight from her voice and made it full of childish mischief. The incomparable Gerald Moore accompanies her.
