    It is a very nice composition. :slight_smile:

    Listening to Josepth Haydn's Cello Concerto in C - a piece I haven't listened to in some time.

    Curious, does anyone else get irked by breathing in classical recordings, even occasionally? Notice it's more prominent in chamber and solo works, while I know it's unrealistic to avoid it entirely for some reason it'll take me out of the mood. Been thinking of it again since I'm getting into a collection of Dvorak's quartets recorded by the Prague Quartet and am considering buying.

    If anyone knows of ways to get over being bothered by it, it'd be appreciated. :confused:

    I don't. Depending on my mood, I have the tendency to get into classical recordings as well. Chamber pieces or entire works I think have the ability to really grab a listener and pull one in. If you wanted to buy the collection of Dvorak's quartets, I'd say go for it. :slight_smile:

    Decided to hold off on it (for now,) if only because of the price. Don't know why, but sometimes it just seems excessive... :/

    Suddenly I've been turned onto Prokofiev, which is strange since he never was someone who drew my attention before:

    It's been awhile, but I was always one of those Shostakovich/Mahler/Hindemith fans :lol:

    I've just started getting into Eric Satie. His 3 Gymnopédies are gorgeous. I've heard them before a while ago but I haven't found them so compelling until now. Satie is so mesmerising.

    I think Yann Tiersen borrowed heavily from Satie's Gymnopédie Nº3 in the Amélie soundtrack.

    The Gymnopédies are exquisite.

    I used to sing in a church choir as an tenor/alto/mezzo. Whatever part they needed me to sing really (it was a really small choir.) My favourite pieces are Faure's Requiem, Allegri's Miserere and I also really like some Taize pieces~

    Listening to the last movement brings back memories of movies that I used to watch. The opening of the last movement was used in a number of movies. Enjoyed listening to the other movements as well though, in particular the fifth. :slight_smile:

    I really like classical music! Even if I've sung classical music in choir for years I'm still kinda new. I have a lot to learn about different periods, composers, style and such. Although I really like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, and Liszt, and also Arvo Pärt if I'm feeling very anxious and need to calm down.

    I LOVE me some classical. I used to teach (lil ones PreK-1st) and whenever we would bring them in from Recess the Sabre Dance was one (of the many) songs that ran through my head. ESPECIALLY when I was working Pre-K at a behavioral clinic.

    Haha love it.
