[Bobbisox1]

Post your favourites ,the ones you love listening too, we will probably put Classic FM around 9 tonight , have a couple of Baileys on ice before I go to bed to leave MrB to watch Jools Holland

Go for it Mozz

[Barsel]

Mozz, see my post at 15.25. I would have put the Gershwin version on as well as it's my favourite one. I'll go and listen to it now.

More Vivaldi

[Togo]

[Mozz71]

Your Answer...just went to find it Barsel. Missed it first time round. hey, what's 15 or so minutes when the music is so fine? Lol I have to admit, the post nearly got the full New World Symphony, but I figured an hour was a bit too much.

[shoota]

Spare 3.5 minutes for this:

[Mozz71]

Okay. I know the film was a ropey as anything, but The Phantom Menace had some of John Williams' finest work on it's soundtrack.

[Togo]

Chill.

[shoota]

Never was a shade
of any plant
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.

[Mozz71]

Howard Shore is another good example. His music for the six Middle Earth movies can be utterly sublime.

[Barsel]

I know this isn't classed as classical but it is New Years Eve and so hope you don't mind.

[Togo]

[shoota]

I've been boring the Northern Soul merchants on Mamya's threads with Voces8 - so here they are again:

[shoota]

And again with the superb Lux Aeterna:

[Togo]

Great Video.

[Bobbisox1]

I'm a sucker for Andre Barsel :0)

[Mozz71]

Your Answer...last movie music for now. I mention Max Steiner earlier, but he should really be better known outside of movie geeks.

[shoota]

Oops double Elgar.
Here's some Bach

[Mozz71]

Love that John Barry piece Togo. The clarinet (or is it an oboe?) is so soothing.

[Barsel]

Me too Bobbs, although I know there are some that don't like his style, but I know my Mum would have absolutely loved him . Thanks for putting this thread on, I'm going to listen to them later when I come back on my computer. x
