You're welcome Trysts. I've seen Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman in concert. They both were breathtaking. I've recently studied that Chaconne, that is why I mentioned it. When you listen to it a few times it becomes pure madness.

Did you know they named their band after their drug dealer's cat? (Slightly altered spelling.)
True story!

Not only organ, he did have a thing for G Strings.....
I do love that piece. I'm just Bach-ignorant.
Cool. And organ's not that bad, this is almost ROCK!
This is a master piece. but you should have posted a version with actual organ in it :P.
Since we are talking classical music anyway, I'm quite fond of some of the stuff that is well known. Mostly into piano (solo) and or strings.
Favourite composers:
Tchaikovsky
Liszt
Chopin
a little of the Ludwig Van
Bach
Mozart
Mendelssohn
From those composers I know specific pieces played by specific musicians that I like. But I have a distinct taste. There's a whole lot of stuff that I don't like.
Have been listening to Carlo Gesualdo as an experiment lately. I got mixed results. Calming but also very depressing. This one is absolutely beautiful imo though

Don't confuse us by changing names so quickly. I was just getting used to cauliflowery.

@Vivinski: Thank you for the list and that haunting music from Miserere

I agree, I like the name "cauliflowery" more than "sweatyknickers"
Well, Jimmy Page probably liked it, 'cause he recorded an album with Coverdale.

Thank you, red-lady! That was really neat! My family and I went to see Nadia Serano Sonnenberg in concert when I was probably 13 years old. It was amazing to me. I love violinists
