Holst - The Planets

 

When i was a little girl, my brother used to listen to that all the time. I loved it.

 

Long ago, in a land far far away (S. Korea), I went careening over a mountain road in a small taxi not ten feet from a several hundred foot drop while the driver enthusiastically narrated this music (I don't remember which planet he was on) to me and my friends while looking over his shoulder at us. We were scared sh*tless to say the least, nodding and smiling nervously so he wouldn't be anymore distracted. Will never forget that music now. Besides, it was something my dad would play as well. Good stuff.

My favorite planet was Mars. I'm listening to it right now.

Definitely Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and my favorite is #3

I've played those a lot lately. Great music to work by.

 

Yes, I used to turn this on while house cleaning. I need to do that next house cleaning day. :-)

After Stravinski, The Planets is perhaps the most "proggy" lol. I was in a band in the 90's that wrote an instrumental prog piece based on the odd time motifs of Mars.

Bach...just Bach. Genius. If I was forced to pick it'd probably be The Art of the Fugue or the Brandenburg Variations or the Solo Violin Sonatas & Partitas.

 

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings...I nearly tear up every time I hear it. The most sorrowfully beautiful piece ever written?

 

Mozart's Quartets

 

Stravinsky'S Rite of Spring

Igor Stravinsky- Rite Of Spring (actually my favourite piece of music altogether. I've been in love with it since I was about 4 years old)

 

Mozart- Requiem

 

Vivaldi- Four Seasons

 

Tchaikovsky- pretty much everything I have heard to date

 

Bizet- Carmen
