Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave) by Mendelssohn. I've only heard the recording I have.

No reason for this one, I just like it. Probably helps having played it in an orchestra, as you're forced to listen to all the parts many times!

I'll go with that.

I'd like to also put forward Elgar's Serenade for Strings in E Minor, op. 20 by the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Sir Neville Marriner cond.

I've listened to the latter many times. It's made quite an impression.

Bach Cello Suites.

Casals is clearly not the best recorded, and probably not the best played, but it is the first of these works I've ever heard and still brings a tear to my eye.
