Thanks, Roehre.

Bruckner - Aequalis no.1 and 2 for three trombones.
Gluck - Orfeo ed Euridice.

Been listening to the band, Phish. I find comfort in their rock music - it is not so hard, yet is, yet is comfortable, airy, peaceful, enjoyable, etc.

Here are two that I liked:

If anyone listens, or has any youth left in them to enjoy a little rock, let me know what you thought about those songs?

Beethoven - Leonore Overture No. 1

[Michael]

Beethoven - Leonore Overture No. 1

I described this on some other thread as the "ugly duckling" of the four operatic overtures, but in many ways it's my favourite, even over the illustrious "Leonore No. 3".
Today I listened to Bach's Fourth orchestral suite.

I actually heard it on the radio today, but I agree with you, and this is one I put on deliberately pretty often.

Shubert's Ave Maria is a truly beautiful piece of music.

Listening to it now.

[Sorrano]

This morning:

Kodaly: Symphony in C

I hadn't realized that he composed a symphony, so this was a very delightful treat.

[Chris]

Beethoven's Les Adieu piano sonata, played by Pletnev. This was the last serious piece of piano music I was studying before I started taking organ lessons. I was working on the last movement, and pretty much had it down, just needed to get it a little faster. Pletnev plays the last movement incredibly fast here...too fast, it seems to me. A lot of the little moments and joy are lost, I think.

His very last orchestral work IIRC.
Strong opening mvt, with lovely, but a little bit lesser inspired 2nd and 3rd mvts.
Nevertheless: a treat indeed.
