Is this one of the most beautiful things you've ever heard?

I was just listening to this while doing my bio lecture notes and i thought, why not get a poll going. I can honestly say this is one of the most moving and beautiful movements i've ever heard.

here it is for those of you who dont remember how it sounds. I got an Argerich video because the recording im listening to was with argerich, but the orchestration isnt as good as the one she made with Kondrashin, and her playing was even better in that recording. for those of you interested in it, lemme know. i can upload it.

I do enjoy the music of Tchaikovsky very much
(Pique Dame is the best opera I have ever seen)

and I do enjoy this concerto overplayed as it is but it is not the most beautiful movement I have ever heard one of my personal favourites is the 3rd movement from Brahms Symphony No. 3

I have grown to dislike this having found about 400 concerti that i feel to be superior.
