    That recording takes me back to 1960/70's childhood when my Dad always listened to Alan Keith's Hundred Best tunes on Sunday BBC Radio 2, 9-10 pm. Regularly played; as was Kathleen Ferrier, "What is life" moves me to tears

      This makes me happy, so simple, rather complex musically, so easy to join in.

          There's too many to mention!

          Plus, the world before streaming when you went to Tower Records and ordered from any catalog you wanted was an easier system to navigate.

            @Daniel.

            Let me disagree.

            YouTube has 90% of everything you might ever want to hear, and it’s free. Amazon Music fills in the gaps and it’s dirt cheap. I understand that that the classical selection is thin, but despite trying to educate myself it’s never been my thing.

            There has never been a better time to find music you like and explore new music as well. Don’t get me started on podcasts!

                  @Steve-Miller

                  I like all periods of classical music. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

                  It's just that I suck with technology. I find this brave not so new world of streaming confusing and frustrating.

                  Maybe when I can set myself up in my own home and don't have the substantial distractions of you know who I'll do better

                  I'm definitely going to try!

                    The problem with You Tube for classical music is that classical tracks are longer than popular tracks, and they interrupt the music after a few minutes to show you ads…and there’s nothing more annoying than that—you lose all connection to what’s going on in the music.

                    Now, maybe that makes a paid ad-free subscription worthwhile. I tend to think so.

                      I pay for the subscription. It costs less than what I was spending buying CDs.

                        There are sooo many songs and pieces (across genres) that move me... But I'll share something I came across this morning ... I was reading something about it being the 20th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice film version that has the soundtrack performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, so I went looking for it. I had forgotten how beautiful the opening piece is. I'm going to track down the score and add it to my list of pieces to play

                          I just watched it for a fourth time, a visual masterpiece and that music is immediately that film!

                            What an odd coincidence. I decided a couple of weeks ago to watch all the different versions of Pride and Prejudice. The book was one of my favorites in high school, but the only film version I had seen was the 1940 movie with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, which I absolutely love. Larry.... 😍

                            I just watched the 1995 series with Colin Firth, started the 1980 BBC series, and got the DVD of the 2005 Keira Knightly movie out from the library. Looking forward to the soundtrack in that last one!

                              @ShiroKuro I have the piano solo book from the movie, available from Hal Leonard. I used to play these all the time. So pretty

                                @AndyD and @wtg now you're making me want to watch the film again!

                                @wtg I haven't seen any of the other versions. I would especially like to see the 1995 series, since IIRC that one is pretty well regarded.

                                @rustyfingers I just requested the score book through our music library! I suspect Dawn is harder than it sounds (I think it has polyrhythms?) but I'm thinking it should be within the realm of playability for me.

                                        Parts of Così fan tutte although I can't name them. I'd have to listen and take notes first. Lol.

                                        I recommend Sir John Elliott Gardner's live recording but you have a hundred at your disposal.
