#12. Love The Planets.
Oh, yes! Such gorgeous music. :)
Great selection, Julia! (And I own every single one of them.)
I don't listen to classical much, but when I do, it certainly brings out the emotions.
Absolutely beautiful, Julia!

wow... great list!
This is just glorious I could stay here all day Sandy
Marvelous collection here! Wish I had time to linger and listen ... but if I do that I'll not get to many blogs in the limited time I have available to me.
Hugs and blessings,
Some of those wonderful melodies are familiar, but others are new to me. Thank you for introducing me to Orff
Even though I took a class in classical music in college (fascinating stuff, all the structure and whatnot involved), I know so little about it. I really ought to listen to more of it and keep track of what I do -- and don't! -- like. So much of it is so inspirational. *sigh*
I love Carmina Burana! I also love Moonlight Sonata... Is it okay to have two absolute favorites? They have completely different moods. hehe
I shall return during the weekend to take some time with these.
Gah! Came here when my toddler is asleep beside me and I dare not plunge into the classical goodness! Must come back next chance I have to sit by myself with a big mug of earl gray...
hey -what do you think of the CD 'Opera Babes'? I was surprised how much I liked it
I can´t listen to all your wonders right now, but I love Bach´s Air very much. My daughter plays it on the piano.
