Alfred Brendel's version of Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor ('Moonlight'), Op. 27/2: Adagio sostenuto

David Lanz- Cristofori's Dream

Elton John- Tonight / Live in Australia

Ferrante & Teicher- Autumn Leaves & Exodus

Cat Stevens- Sad Lisa

Mannheim Steamroller- Stille Nacht

Trans-Siberian Orchestra- The Three Kings And I (What Really Happened)

My Granny- anything she did

I play no instrument but do admire all who can play the piano. It is one of my life ambitions to learn one day.

So what's a clarinet doing in the recording?


Twice in the Allegro, the clarinet hits a loud note, as if it were too close to the microphone. That aside, the performance is magical.

This thread is great. Thank you for the Hewitt recommendation. I've just ordered it.

La Campanella by Franz Liszt. I just love the way the piece allows me to express myself every time I play it.

Edit: Just read through some of the posts. 10 years with a teacher and 3 years without (moving and such).

That is why romantic clasical music is my favorite. You can put yourself into the music wether you are playing or listening.

I like the Appassionata and Mozart's K466 concerto.

In no particular order:

Mozart -- Piano Concerto #21 (esp. the Andante)

Bach -- Goldberg Variations (Glenn Gould 50s version. Revolutionary)

Scott Joplin -- "Solace"

Alman Brothers -- "Jessica" Chuck Leavell playing his face off.

Coltrane -- "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" It really should be credited to McCoy Tyner as leader.

Art Tatum -- "Tea For Two"

I've been hearing several people mention George Winston on this thread, but to be perfectly honest, I have never heard of the guy. I even listened to some of his music and none of it sounds familier.
