I have an ABC(anything but country) policy on my Ipod and my car. Bach next to Nirvana, Public Enemy with The Beatles. But I have a love for classical piano. And of that genre, Raindrops is my all time favorite:
What about your favorites. What moves you? What relaxes you?
Mozart's huge output of piano concertos is my favorite music in the world. If I want to just listen at an intellecutual level, if I need music to help me focus and screw down, if I'm in a celebratory or happy mood, if I'm sad, Mozart's piano concertos tend to be my favorite music. Oddly, I don't like Mozart's symponies or other compositions nearly as well. His piano concertos are simply my favorite music in the world. I never tire of them, they never cease to move me very profoundly. And there are so many!
It's also amazing how different they sound depending on the performer. Vladimir Ashkenazy is probably my favorite but I've been listening to Murray Paraiah lately for a change.

My favorite by Debussy:
Desse jeito, não tem jeito.
Here's a nice selection of Yo-Yo Ma Bach cello suites...
Desse jeito, não tem jeito.
That is my favorite to play.Originally Posted by San Diego Ute Fan
Those shoes are definitely bi-curious.
Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" 1st mvmt. Another favorite to play because it's relaxing and not too difficult.

As Mozart always works for for SU, this one works for me every time I hear it:

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

That is a small slice of heaven.

I was in the mood tonight to listen to Shenandoah. This is of my favorite renditions by the San Francisco group chanticleer.

I am a big Aaron Copeland fan. Vivaldi too.
