Currently in isolation 14 days with poorly DS. Going crazy on day 2. Let me know your favourite soothing classical music.

Can't cope with chart music, MTV, old pop, or anything with words at the moment.

I've got amazon music and am currently listening to a soothing collection called music for a relaxing bath 🤷🏻‍♀️

They are lovely but I need a playlist. Lark ascending is there, cavalliera rusticana and similar.

Any more?

Search for Max Richter.
His music is beautiful especially the nature of daylight.

There is a mumsnet compilation on spotify if you have it.

Einaudi.

No Spotify. Brain is scrambled. Don't want to add more media stuff. Alexa is playing so nicely at the moment, but she can never tell me what a particular piece of music is. When she finishes this I'll try that Richter thing 😊

Max Richter is stunning (his Vivaldi 4 seasons is my favourite)

I’m really into Us The Duo right now. Classical versions of popular songs

Ludovico Einaudi. Lovely as background music.

Carnival of the Animals The Swan by Saint-Saens.
The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams
Classic FM do 'Smooth classics at 7' which is relaxing classical music at 7pm mon-fri.

She's shuffling songs by Max richter! Nice. The first one is on the 'music to have a bath to'!

Tune into radio 3. Lovely at any time of day or night, you don't need to move the dial or load a playlist and they only seem to read the briefest of news headlines when they remember to, which is much less frequently than every hour. They also talk as well, but only to enhance/get you to think about what you're listening to so you hear human voices but nothing stressful.

Hope your ds is better soon.

Beethoven's Symphony no. 6 (Pastoral). My first musical love and stll hard to beat. 😊🎶

Baroque music. Seriously. Both relaxing and uplifting. I love it.

Thanks for this.
I love classical music but never know what things are called, or what to listen to.
I often listen to classic fm in the car
Going to give some of these a try

Haha Alexa recognised my crap pronunciation of ludovicia einaudi! It's also on the 'relaxing music to have a bath to'. So I actually recognise this music and it's one of my favourites.

Another vote for Einaudi. Specifically the I Giorni album for me

Oh, I just love this, it's so beautiful ❤️

@Ohffs66 Please don't make me pronounce that!

Tchaikovsky Piano Trio in A minor. And his string quartets. Chopin Ballades. Scarlatti keyboard sonatas.

debussy - clair de lune
Faure - pavane
chopin nocturne 1 b minor
brahms german requiem
bach goldberg variations

Any opera by Handel. Xerxes, Rosalinda, Giulio Cesare, Theodora...

yes to radio3 - a good mix

I personally like music with ooomph
mahler symphonies
r strauss
tsaikovski, prokofvjef
beethoven
verdi operas

BBC Sounds Mindful Mix.

Jesse Norman has a wonderful voice to listen to.

Bach cello suite.

I accidentally discovered I like choral music. Lully, Lulla, Lullay by The Truro Cathedral Choir is wonderful.
