I'm new here but thought I'd say that it's great to see Beethoven being mentioned although I personally wouldn't have picked it as his most "beautiful". It's such a subjective term, I'd go so far as to say the most powerful music ever written.

As for "beautiful", I'm going with Neil Finn (with the NZ Symphony Orchestra) performing Message To My Girl. I would also consider The Beatles' early number In My Life to be "beautiful". I saw Never Tear Us Apart mentioned, that one is hard to deny.

I have Message To My Girl on an old Split Enz album so that's the version I know. Better Be Home Soon I would have to call beautiful.

Satie's Gymnopedie 1 and Massenet's 'meditation' are introspectively beautiful.

That's a good one too. You should try to get your hands on the Enzso album (http://www.frenz.com/enzso/) or at least the version of Message To My Girl from it, it takes the song to a whole new level.

You should be! I'll team up with Joni Mitchell, and she'll... smack you with her paintbrushes.
