    I don't listen to classical much, but when I do, it certainly brings out the emotions.

    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 can´t listen to all your wonders right now, but I love Bach´s Air very much. My daughter plays it on the piano.
