It took me a lifetime to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I've also got a pop music collection, of course; it mainly consists of evergreens by the Rolling Stones, the Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Bob Dylan plus some songs by young ladies…
My true passion, however, is classical music -- and I'm a demanding customer. I would never boo at concerts or write nasty comments on YouTube, but I have strong opinions. My main message goes: Stop Hypocrisy! Simply ask yourself: Do I want to hear it every day?
Don't write comments like: "Nice collection, Harry..." I don't do that either; I gather information and go...
Don't rip the music off! Some works aren't available for sale, and I think it's OK to download them for personal use, but all the rest can be purchased in this or another form. Artists and producers have the right to payment!!

It goes without saying that I've got much more music in store; here is only what I call the best of the best.
I even edited and shortened some works - the remaining time is in parentheses.
My all-time favorite is Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony. I’ve heard it in the Himalayas, in the Sahara desert, on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, on top of the Cheops Pyramid, in the Hollywood Hills, on NY's 5th Avenue, in the Vienna Forest, on Beethoven’s tracks in the city… In chapter 18 of my book http://amonharry.blogspot.com/, I try to ascertain the meaning behind this symphony, and this is my article on Beethoven’s Lead Poisoning.

"The Great Nine" (Daiku) with huge choruses is traditionally performed at many places in Japan during the Christmas and New Year season...
I call it a real cultural scandal that Franz Liszt’s Piano Transcriptions of the Nine Beethoven Symphonies are not yet ranked amongst the greatest achievements in the history of music. Most of the so-called music lovers and Beethoven fans don’t even know about these wonderful works…!
One person on piano -- all alone…!!
Another piece of music close to my heart is the Carmen Fantasy by Pablo de Sarasate, and I am absolutely delighted with Gil Shaham’s performance: [part 1] [part 2]

Everybody likes ladies on piano: Valentina Lisitsa (Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Grieg, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Schumann), Valentina Igoshina (Chopin), Yuja Wang (Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Vivaldi)…

Good day, madam!
Kamischa: from the Sanskrit meaning "Master of Desire" or "Conqueror of Love"…
nova: “new” – also a star that releases a tremendous burst of energy…
OK. Keep swinging!
But please remember: This ain't no damn chat room!
Seriously,
Harry

Thank you very much, Sylvester!

I purchased Susan Graham's performance, incl. “With Drooping Wings.”
And I found Leopold Stokowski’s orchestration: http://goo.gl/frjEG
2. Puccini, Giacomo - Crisantemi - too boring for every day: http://goo.gl/YCssg
3. Faure, Gabriel - Pie Jesu & In Paradisum – not exactly bad… http://goo.gl/qDvIi http://goo.gl/uiUUR
4. Fauré, Gabriel – Pavane – yes, it should be on the list: http://goo.gl/2f2j9 - http://goo.gl/elACV
You are a composer: http://goo.gl/VNVQd
Your “Soft Woods” is my favorite – could hear it every day…
I feel honored, and I am very grateful for your suggestions.
With all good wishes,

I'd like to offer some classical suggestions - very easy ones.
2. Puccini, G. - "Crisantemi" (Chrysanthemums). Puccini wrote this when he was a young man, but the tune has endured for 100 years - extraordinarily lyrical - you will never forget it, once heard.
3. Faure, Gabriel - "Pie Jesu" and "In Paradisum" from "Requiem." The Requiem is famous, and these two movements are two of the reasons why. They are gentle and accessible to everyone.
4. Faure, Gabriel - "Pavane," op. 50. Considering all the choices you have made, this would suit your tastes well. (The Albinoni made me think of it.)
peace through music,
Sylvester
