Good choice. The fifth is marvelous too. Klemperer's rendition of Brahams 4th deeply affected in college. But the piece I heard in a concert hall, that most affected me was Britten's War Requiem. When the music evoked the moment of death of a young man on the killing fields of WW I, the chills going down my spine, I feel now thinking about it, almost as much as then.

Yes, Beethoven's Ninth is the first one I thought of. Walter Carlos's rendition (on the sound track from A Clockwork Orange--yeah, yeah, the movie stank, but the soundtrack is phenomenal) is the ultimate version.

Beethoven's 9th, hands down. If there is music playing when we arrive in Heaven its the Choral from Beethoven's ninth. You want to know what God listen's to? Hint, the deaf guy from Germany received it straight from the divine.

Beethoven's 9th, for me.For me as well, and I'm not a classical music fan.
Runner up is John Coltrane's live performance of "My Favorite Things."
