Its so dark and awesome

I don't know if this counts, but Cello Suites: Inspired by Bach by Yo-Yo Ma

Perhaps we should suggest a favourite recording for the piece as well?

I'm going to say Brahms's German Requiem. I have the Herreghewe/Harmonia Mundi CD.

None of the ones listed are classical, so I will follow suit and say Wagners Ring Cycle. Mostly because I managed to see it live and the experience was overhwelming.

I'm not sure if your comment was intended to be snide or a gentle ribbing, theres no accompanying smilie. I think that its clear to all that what is intended by "classical" in this context refers to western art music in general, and not to pieces exclusively from the 1700s to 1800s

 

[m0ofassa]

Just a quick defense for myself incase someone decides to tell me that wagner isnt classical

. Nothing meant by it.

Very tough question to answer. I don't know that it's my "favorite," but this is among my most listened to recordings:
