17. Maria ( Original Broadway cast )
18. I Have Dreamed ( Peabo Bryson and Leah Salonga )

They Call the Wind Maria (from a musical movie, but it’s good anyway)

and most anything by Sarah Brightman – good call

I second @CWOTUS’ addition.
Don’t Cry For Me Argentina – Julie Covington.
And listen to more tracks from that musical; there are some more beautiful songs in it.
