Can't go wrong with the Brandenberg Concertos by J.S. Bach. I've probably listened them hundreds of times. Sound even better on vinyl!

i love listening to classic music, especially while studying. In my opinion it is really appeasing
Beethoven's Smphony nr7 is really relaxing! There are many good Classical sounds on Youtube but there is a web radiostation Classical FM, which just appears in the UK. They have really good songs.

I really love listen to Mozart, because it is really lovely. I bought nearly every cd!! There is a radio webstation called Classical FM which is pretty good, too! They have a variety of classical songs which are not bad

A little French music
Thanks,
Nice concert in quite decent sound considering that it is streamed .
And lots of wonderful brass .
Symphonie fantastique is of course one the greatest works of that era and very recommended listening for those new to classical music.
I listened to this via my ,HUGO and HD 800 and found it very enjoyable, although I would ideallly want to hear this performance in higher res sound than streaming quality.
Percussion sounds a bit harsh and digital and colorless.
The conductor also at times has a tendency to get carried away by the sheer beauty of it all,wawing his head more than his baton.
And I have never seen anyone else beat the bell´s first entry in the last movement with such a forceful downbeat as Deneuve.
Has anybody here heard the CSO LIVE/Muti version?
If so, how does it compare to this one by the same orchestra?
For other interpretations of this truly Fantastic Symphony, I would recommend Karajan BPO 70s on LP and on SACD the Munch on LIVING STEREO and Paray´s on Mercury.
I also have two hi res downloads of this symphony one from eClassical with Nézet Seguin and a dramatic but a bit boxy ,one by Gergiev on LSO LIVE.

I haven't heard the recording with Seguin, but I do have the Gergiev recording in DSD. You're right about it, it sounds very closed in. I haven't listen to the Paray or Munch recordings in quite a while. Both are pretty well recording considering how old they are.
The recording that I posted is not at all my favorite, but it is one of the better sounding recordings on youtube. It sounded pretty open with my Audio GD setup. I would love to post the recording by Solti with Chicago from the 70's, but it is not available on youtube. The brass sounds particularly good in the final two movments. I have bought multiple copies of it on vinyl, each one in slightly better condition.

It is always good to see new people joining in with us.
2 versions of Gabriel's Oboe.
.
I also like the Alfie Boe vocals version of this.
And 1 more 2Cellos.

Perhaps a bit too repetitive for some people, but still a good listen.
