5:26 - Water Music, Suite No.2 in D Major II. Hornpipe
9:29 - Messiah - HWV 56 - Chorus Hallelujah
These are the loveliest four pieces of Puccini I could find. I have added a violin and piano version of "O mio babbino caro", an earlier (1981) version of "Nessun Dorma" by a younger Pavarotti (although the sound quality is not brilliant), and a modern louder version of the "Humming Chorus" from Madame Butterfly. All have their uniqueness in my mind. The earlier version of the Humming Chorus touches me most, but is quiet. The audience applause has also been mostly cut out of the more modern version of Nessun Dorma.
