if you want something that will give you a variety of his emotions get the "Amadeus" soundtrack (double CD) and the More "Amadeus" soundtrack (single CD). As a compilation of his works.....it is truly amazing!!

But you are deffinately right....very relaxing and uplifting!

We just have a radio station out here, ABC classic...

The most amazing thing is when they put on a concert taped earlier that night in one of the places with so much classical history like Vienna and there you are in the concert for hours, no interruptions.

I'm sure the saying 'Music hath soothe the savage beast' was not referring to rap or heavy metal.

I love to listen to classical piano. It fills me with serenity.

Try listening to Vangelis, he is a modern day wonder.

I've gotten to where I can't listen to Eine Kline Nachtmusik at all.

Mozart's operas are good, however...in small doses. He wrote for the true coloratura voice, so he over ornamented the arias in his works...most notably The Magic Flute...think the Queen of the Night's aria...one of the most difficult pieces for any soprano to sing.

I prefer Handel's Water Music...

or Vidaldi's Four Seasons...come to think of it...

Ode to Joy by Beetoven is my favorite. Sometime know as 9th symphony.
Take Care and Lust Always,
Ezarc

So right, Lavy! I play bassoon, and struggled with Mozart's bassoon concerto for nearly a year before I could play it with any sort of fluidity. But, when you pass that threshold ... ahhh, complete and total bliss.

I am a pianist. I used to hate playing Bach and Mozart. Their pieces seemed too technical and tedious with little reward.

Over spring break I did nothing but play Mozart piano concertos, Bach's Italian Concertor and various Bach preludes and fugues. It was so relaxing.

You're a pianist??? I love Beethoven's fur elise and yes italian classical moves me incredibly.

One day (i keep telling myself) I will learn to play piano.
Except it probably wouldn't be as powerful and developed as if I'd learnt it as a child.

The Sonic Youth series of experimental recordings, The wilder side of Sonny Sharrock, and various DIY 'punk' bands provide the soundtrack when I am seeking relaxation. Classical music (sans overblown string sections) can have a similar effect but it works in a dissimilar manner which fails to cut deep enough within me.

I meditate to Serenade No.13 in G for strings 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik".

I could no live without such music.

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

This is going to change.

How about if I sit at a nice large black concert grand piano nude and play my favorite movement from a Beethoven sonata. I would hope that would "cut deep enough" within you.

Remember the CAM!

I enjoy Mozart very much also. I also listen to classical Spanish guitar quite a bit...it's also soothing.

My favorite composer is Tchikovsky, even if I can't spell his name. Even if you don't know the story he's telling, the music creates a plot in your mind. You can write to it.
