Classic FM Hall of Fame 2020 - anyone listening?

[chomalungma]

I am going for Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto Number 2 as the Top choice please

Or variations on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaughan Williams

At Number 20 now - Misere

Anyone else listening?

Me! I don't normally have a chance to listen, as we're often away, so very much enjoying it this year.

It's always my Bank Holiday Easter Monday treat.

It had better not be the Lark again

I'd be happy with Rach 2, have also heard my second choice (Chopin 2) and my favourite Chopin Nocturne already. I did like it when Mozart's Clarinet Concerto was in the top 3 too.

I've missed two live concerts at the Liverpool Phil since lockdown. Missing this treat that I indulge in when I can!

Beethoven is doing well as usual.

I am looking for Clair de Lune - but I think that was much earler

I do love the Lark though.

Beethoven again....

Moonlight Sonata

Which is rather good though

did like it when Mozart's Clarinet Concerto was in the top 3 too

Ah. Number 10 , I think

I love the Mozart, so joyful!

Also like the Lacrimosa playing now. I heard a youth choir from Wrexham singing it at the Chester Music Festival a few years ago, they were excellent. Quite surprised it's in the top 10!

Swan Lake - anyone else think of Billy Elliot when this is played

Swan Lake made me think that when this is all over I need to go and see it!

I would love to see 1812 live.

With field artillery. This has dropped a lot though.

I remember we studied this at school. How to kill the enjoyment of a piece of music.

Do you remember the peanut butter advert that used this?!

Many, many years ago saw the 1812 live at Leeds Castle - just amazing!

6 to go.

Enigma Variations
Lark
Rachmaninff

Plus Thomas Tallis variations

Beethoven . This was my third choice!

This is one of my favourites. I first heard it in Master and Commander.

One of my stop the car and just listen pieces

Number 4....

What happened

Looks for handsome doctor to wipe grit from eye

Are all the voters on anti-depressants ( or should they be ??) What a miserable top list. The programme controllers are even worse - Bruch, Beethoven, Rachmaninov - all the slow movements picked.
Can't we have some inspiring music ?
And if that sodding lark is top again I'll wring its neck !

Can't we have some inspiring music

Engima variations soon

It's the Lark again.

I don't get why it's so popular. But it obviously is...

I reckon it'll be the Lark again, unfortunately. I like it but not more than the epic Rachmaninoff.
Ancientoak totally agree about the slow movements.

Bastard bird
