Percy Faith's instrumental of Rimsky-Korsakov's Song of India(aka Song of the Indian Guest) is the single most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.

Good to see you up to your old tricks Ken36

tru blu, you should have split up your list, woulda been good for about 20 posts...

I'm taking "beautiful" as meaning softer sound, lilting/sultry voices and introspective voices, romantic/uplifting or downright sexy moods, or plain old shiver inducing. When looking at the 'grand scheme of things', I don't know how metal can be considered beautiful (although I love a lot of metal).

Bel Canto - Shoulder to the Wheel
Cocteau Twins - Pitch the Baby
Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa
Hungry Lucy - You Are
Dead Can Dance - Rakim (especially the live version... shivers)
Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby
Frou Frou - Psychobabble
Imogen Heap - The Moment I Said It
Gotye - Hearts a Mess
Massive Attack - What Your Soul Sings
Something For Kate - Whatever You Want
Amelie OST
XTC - Knights in Shining Karma
Chandeen - most songs from Teenage Poetry
Michael Stearns - The Storm (whole album)
Robert Rich - the ablums Somnium and Below Zero
Geinoh Yamashirogumi - the album Ecophony Rinne
Synaesthesia - Desideratum (the 2nd CD)
Depeche Mode - Ultra (Dave Gahan's voice!

)
Love Spirals Downwards - Idylls (album)
Halou - Wiser (album)
Requiem In White - Of The Want Infinite (album)
Vashti Bunyan - Another Diamond Day
Joanna Newsom - Ys

I see Amelie popping up a lot. Is it a good listen even if I've never seen the film?

 

[rincewind]

Yes. It's beautiful music lol... You'll probably want to hire the movie after you hear it anyway.

 

[elliot42]

Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) by Ravel. The orchestrated version is simply beautiful.
