Beethoven’s 9th symphony
Carmen (Bizet)
La Boheme / Madame Butterfly (I slightly prefer Boheme)
Bohemian Rhapsody (overplayed but still excellent)
Strange Fruit (Billie Holliday)
Really just about anything by several artists/groups is so pleasing:
Modern Jazz Quartet
Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
Louis Armstrong
Billie Holliday
Count Basie
Fats Waller
Benny Goodman
Ella Fitzgerald
Tosca
Aida
A lot of Mozart
Etc
Hard to pick five top; it changes with my mood.
