[Uncle Miltie]

Do you live on a hillside with a pool? I’ve been there....

[zeugma]

Google Kimiko Ishizaka and Bach, and you’ll find some stories about it. I think what she’s doing is pretty cool.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Tossup -
Rachmaninoff Concerto #3 or
Saint-Saens Symphony #3.....

[onedoug]

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Concerto Grosso (1985).

My contribution to “feminism” shall we say.

Beautiful mix of modern and classical styles at just 2:49.

[onedoug]

And let’s not forget Bela Bartok, Concerto For Orchestra (1943).

[Sir_Ed]

I love the Emperor Waltz!

I love pretty much anything the Strausses did!

[Sir_Ed]

Isn’t KUSC an amazing station?

I used to listen to the jazz station, KBCA, which became KKGO, man, what a great station that was, too!

[Chickensoup]

I didn’t see Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No 6, to me, the a most sublime piece of music.

[greedo]

I absolutely love this,

especially the last four minutes or so of it.

The folk guys just TEAR IT UP.

Romanian Folk Dances ~ Béla Bartók

[etabeta]

Mahler’s 5Th Symphony

[BigEdLB]

I voted for 15/16 Debussy, Vaughan Williams... my write-in Hovhaness didn’t make the cut

[curmudgeonII]

Obviously an incomplete list as Gluck is not mentioned. [Should be #1.}

[EveningStar]

Do you mean Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 6 (Pathétique)? He wrote only 3 piano concertos.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Emperor is good too. So is the Vienna waltz. Love that one!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Handel - Water Music

Love it! His fireworks music is also great.

[BlueLancer]

Pachelbel’s Canon - #12

[SevenofNine]

On Emperor waltz me too

[SevenofNine]

Well K Jazz still in business they still have swing music in early morning on Saturday and Sunday on Sunday afternoon they have Nothing but the blues

[rustbucket]

Vivaldi doesn't have near enough votes. Here is a Vivaldi piece I heard after I took a Music Before 1750 course at MIT back in the Dark Ages. I think this is RV 558 (my old vinyl recording did not list the RV number).

Vivaldi Concerto in C Major for Diverse Instruments, allegro RV 558

That left Bach in the dust for me, and I never looked back.

[Sir_Ed]

Huh, did B]KBCA/KKGO become KJAZZ?

I love the Bliues, too!

See ya’,
