AIBU to ask for what you think is the most beautiful piece of classical music you have ever heard

[Myworstnightmare123]

I want to put together a playlist for my DD as she has a horrendously difficult time ahead of her (you can search my username to see why) I am hoping it will help her in some way...calm her. Take her mind off things.

Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves
Flower Duet
Lark Ascending

I'm sure there are loads that I hum or recognise but can't remember the bloody names!

I also love Samuel Barber Adagio for strings.

Visit d’arte (from Tosca)

Concerto de Aranjuez
Rachmaninoff Concerto no 2 C minor
More uplifting than relaxing- but Michael Nyman, MGV, 5th region . Also the main theme from The Piano
John Barry - Out of Africa

Came on to say Luduvico Einaudi but as he's already been recommended I'll suggest Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite or Handel's arias

Theme music from The Piano and Gladiator(some pieces)

Michael Nyman - True Love Waits
Christopher O’Reilly - Fake Plastic Trees (or really anything from his Radiohead collection)

Agnes Odell is amazing, I also love enya, Beethoven, anything with an electric violin, Chopin

Oops, meant The heart asks pleasure first by Michael nyman, I’m making up song names now!

Bach’s cello suite no 2 and the Swan by Saint-Saens.

Cavatina by John Williams

If you want to look for something a little bit different Vitamin String Quartet do lots of classical versions of modern songs. They are wonderful and have playlists on YouTube.

Second movement of the Brahms violin concerto.

Beethoven’s romance no 2 for violin.

The Marriage of Figaro - beautiful from start to finish.

@jessyradlett yes it’s divine, possibly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ICAfU8YFr6E

Also Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto 😍

Excellent thread

These are my faves on my playlist. Hopefully the correct names:
Tchaikovsky Swan Lake Op 20: Scene
Cavatina
Pavané
Sinfonia Per Un Addio
Piano Concerto 1 in B flat minor - Tchaikovsky
Theme from Concierto de Aranjuez

Oh - and Massenet’s meditation from thais.

I love Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It's beautiful and uplifting and wonderful to listen to through headphones as you hear all the little tiny nuances in the music.

Sending strength to you and your dd x

Luduvico Einaudi - Reverie

Flower duet by lakme
The deerhunter, think by cavatina?

This from Cosi van Tutte

I always loved Clair de lune by Debussy.

The Adagio for strings by Samuel Barber. The first time I heard it was live at the Budapest Opera. It brought tears to my eyes.

Philip Glass Acknatum

Stravinski Symphony of Psalms

Camille Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals
Bizet Carmen
