6 Music: Jacqueline du Pre & (her husband) Daniel Barenboim's Elgar Cello Concerto performance. She died of MS (or possibly assisted suicide, owing to the MS) at 42, which makes this... Extra sad, and hard to watch. Fucking brilliant, though.

Benedictus, from "The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace", by Karl Jenkins...
Probably the most moving piece of music I've ever heard live (on Remembrance Day, I think it was).
Bloody fantastic, this one.
Humanity can produce some amazing things, sometimes. When we truly try.
Also, the Classical snobs (on Reddit and similar) hate this one, which makes me like it even more, tbh.
Fucking wankers.
