Your Favourite Pieces.

[Sunny]

If I want to listen to something uplifting, this is near the top of my list:

Verdi's Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves

 

[TheSound]

Feeling in a melancholy mood today for some reason, and have heard these 3 beautiful works at various times of the day on BBC Radio 3...enjoy!

Here's the first movement from one of my all time favorite albums, Bela Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra".

I'm still scribbling them down, some great pieces so far. Here's another one I like.

My favourite movement of a Mozart piano concerto.

Mitsuko Uchida performs Mozart's Piano Concerto #20- Romanze

Her technique is certainly strange, but her talent is amazing. She really feels the music.

Cavalleria Rusticana - Pietro Mascagni

Here are a couple of my favourite pieces.

Vatican 1600 (Allegri's Miserere performed by the Tallis Scholars) - YouTube

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1 - YouTube

Cos I love the sound of the flute this is a belter for me.

 

[opera races]

Speaking of Carmen, I've liked Bizet's Carmen overture almost forever!



Another long time favorite ... I think it's very cool to listen to a proper orchestral version of the last bit of the William Tell Overture every so often



I didn't actually see the "Mickey Mouse" version of this piece until years later. I still think it's almost more fun to simply listen to the music and use your imagination.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Paul Abraham Dukas

 

[opera races]

I remember we played this in the junior high orchestra. The cello part is nothing special but overall it's a nice piece IMO. For some bizarre reason we played it at a slower tempo so when I hear a version like this done by "professionals" I barely recognize it!

Dvorak - Slavonic Dance No. 8
