Favorite Classical Piece

If people feel the need to really connect back up to their soul, I would like to suggest classical music. It works great for many of the bad moods we can fall into. Cheers!

Just a few of my favorites.

I think for modern it would be Maurice Ravel, beauty, grace, and reverent does not begin to describe this piece.

"Bolero"




Less Modern Bizet Carmen "Les Toreadors"





Vivaldi, your a music lover this will raise the hairs on the back of your neck.






Johann Pachelbel Cannon in D

Personally, I think Bethoven's 7th Symphony, Allegretto is probably one of the most initially haunting works around.



Allegretto was used in the ending scenes of Zardoz (Sean Connery) and Knowing (Nicholas Cage). The application of Allegretto to both ending sequences seems to me a perfect choice.

Couple of my favourites:

Beethoven Symphony No.9



Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C Minor (1)



La folia ( A cover of it anyways )

I Love Classical Music, Baroque period in particular. I am also a Metal Head, so needless to say, in case you havn't heard of the band Rhapsody of Fire, they are one of my all time favorite bands, a combination of baroque and Heavy Metal

Cool thread! I love Le Sacre du Printemps (The Right of Spring) by Stravinsky. About 3:30 in the clip below you'll find one of the more famous passages.

Great thread, I listen to Classical music everyday, have the complete works of Beethoven and Mozart, also love Opera. Forgot to mention Bach..

S&F

Canadian brass does a nice version.

Wow. As a musician for over 45 years...Id select probably 3.

Fanfare for the Common Man

Peter and the Wolf

The Planets

Great thread ! Bolero is amazing.
Vivaldi...reminds me of an ear operation. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing ?
I mean, you could still hear the scissor and the doctors breathing as well. So what's the point of playing Vivaldi while doing a surgery

This is another favorite. Everything of the Strauss's as well...

Time To Say Goodbye Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

Dedicate to a special friend here on ATS who is having a difficult time, music is the way to reconnecting to the soul.

Ciao bella! non ti preoccupare, torneranno presto. mille baci

Andrea' Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, both two of my all time favorites, I have every CD they have out, first time I heard them sing Time to Say Goodbye together was on PBS, actually got that CD from PBS and the rest is history.

I went to see them both live at The Palace of Auburn Hills a few years back, they did not perform at the same time.

Thanks for posting the video.

Here's a beautiful piece.

I never get tired of watching and listening to Susan Boyle

Schubert Quintet in C, D 956 - 2. Adagio
(Zagreb International Chamber Music Festival 2008)
