Category Archives: music to love

sorry, I am on a bit of a string roll! i just find this particular musical style to be particularly relaxing. i love it!! must meet up with em to release my baroque soul!! anyway, here are some alternatives!!

holberg suite. i love this. i always think it sounds ‘very english’. i have a thing for all strings! here is some more.

i enjoy a lot of sibelius’s music, and was debating what to start with. but i have decided on the jollity of the opening of the karelia suite. hope you like it too. thinking as i hear it of the friends i had in the french horn section!

the thing with this is that this series got me through redundancy process at work. and hearing this theme still gives me that same sensation of being able to breathe again.

so here it is, battlestar galactica, a theme that i will always be thankful for though i don’t rank it in the music to love pantheon in quite the same way!

i fell in love with philip glass’s music when i went to see the making of the representative of planet 8 at the ENO as a student. it is really difficult to find any traces of that music! i love the rolling harmonies and the repetitions. it is an evolution in his style, and i certainly don’t like it all, but … so i am trying to find in utube clips what i mean. his violin concerto good!

i love this particular piano concerto. one day i need to practice enough to consider playing perhaps the slow mvt… ihave a lovely recording of barenboim playing them in one take, mistakes and musicality and totally brilliant. here is barenboim playing the ‘moonlight’ sonata which i do love playing, but obviously with less skill!
