Share your favorite classical music

I can't remember if I posted this or not. This is my absolutely favorite classical piece. Mozart -- Piano Concerto, Symphony 20 in D minor, K 466, rondo. Wonderful. Everybody is busy.

Very nice! Do you mean 'everybody is busy' in the music, playing instruments and that is what you like about it? That is a very sweet piece.

Here is another busy movement by Mozart






and this from 2:00 - ~12:00

An aside: Eric Carmen w/the Rasberries recorded their hit "All by Myself". A decent tune. The melody line is nearly identical to the Rachmaninoff piano concerto above. Very rarely are things new, but recycled from the ghosts of the past.

Yes. Everyone is hardly ever at rest, and the pianist is so fully into the piece that he nearly fibrilates with energy. LOVE the Jupiter movement!!!

I played this thread through all day yesterday

Moonlight Sonata and other movements as played by Khatia Buniatishvili. Truly amazing. Incredible pedal control. What a soft touch.

I can't recall the Moonlight Sonata having being played with more emotion. Beautiful. Evocative.


ETA again! Please watch this whole video. Khatia is truly amazing. She really is.
