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

[goldpartyhat]

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?

Haydn symphonies are underrated IMO. Try the Horn Signal (No. 31) or

Also Palestrina Missa Papae Marcelli.
Monteverdi Vespers.

And there's always Bach. You could start with the Brandenburg Concertos.

Not strictly classical but very soothing and calming...Rick Wakeman's instrumental piano covers of many well known songs and pieces of music. Loving all the suggestions here and thanks to the person who posted about #SongsofComfort on Twitter.

Another vote for Scala radio station if you have DAB. Just been listening to Simon Mayo broadcasting from his spare room due to self-isolating. Very ambient.

Schubert symphonies, especially the 8th and 9th.

Haydn's Creation - you need to listen to it a few times to appreciate it fully.

There was a Guardian article about this recently. Not classical, but some good suggestions I think. Might make a nice change from R3 or Classic, which is what we're tuned into mostly.

I also came to suggest Symphony no. 6

Here’s my playlist OP-

^The Max Richter song is Vivaldi, The Four Seasons: Spring 1

dance of the blessed spirits - gluck
walking the dog-gershwin
by the river-(florida suite) delius
miserere- allegri
mass in B - bach
te deum- tiexere

a nice bottle of shiraz eases self isolation too, once ds is in bed

hope your 2 weeks passes happily

oh, i just thought- chorus of the hebrew slaves, verdi is lovely, and possibly apt ( a song from captivity)

something more happy
verdi anvil chorus

There's a programme on Radio 3 every night at 7 -7.30 'In Tune Mixtape' which has a wide variety of music and sometimes a theme,uninterrupted. If you go on BBC Sounds and go to the Radio 3 schedule there are loads of previous programmes to download / stream.

Working my way through them 👏👏👏👏

Oh, I do love Johnny oh, I do love Johnny flyn's singing. He's gorgeous.

Can't imagine how someone managed to get deleted on a thread about classical music. A first!

Excuse weird repetition. Couldn't see what I was typing. Adagio playing now, kids asleep. All well and I'm sure it was just a vomiting bug

if you want a really nice adagio for strings try mahler 9

Avril 14th - Aphex Twin
Soundtrack to Far From the Madding Crowd, composed by Craig Armstrong
Medieval Baebes
Anonymous 4

Ennio Morricone - Gabriel's Oboe and & the Theme from Cinema Paradiso.

today we youtube ourselves through mozart's magic flute aria of the queen of the night.
absolutely fantastic performances and costumes.

Beethoven: Neunte Sinfonie (Symphony 9) - Freude schöner Götterfunken

is always a good one
