Your favourite music

I like all types of music and enjoy Classic FM as well as Gold. It depends on what sort of mood I'm in. There was an interesting programme on TV last night on musicals such as Oklahoma.

I absolutely love all the sixties pop music. I was born 1951. And still love Tony Blackburn's programme.
And Leonard Cohen. I have lots of his albums and dvds.

I have two favourite albums. Les Choristes and Carmina Burana.

I just found a fantastic complete recording of Carmina Burana 1994 Proms on youtube.

Mostly rock.

It is my favorite style of music!

Well we play nursery rhymes CDs here every lunchtime, and one of my two year old mindees starts singing the next song as soon as the previous one finishes, before it actually starts!
In the car we listen to Radio 3 on the school run and the older children discuss what instruments we're listening to.
On a personal level I have tickets to see Cliff Richard and Elton John later this year.

Music is my life, practically. I can't sing particularly well but I can play piano pretty niftily and I was lucky enough to have a music - loving family.

I was brought up on Strauss, Rossini then Mozart and Beethoven.

I'm Welsh so love hymns. And choirs, obviously. My favourite Welsh piece is O Gymru.

Otherwise my tastes are eclectic. I'm a massive fan of Steely Dan and Jazz, particularly Cool. Like daddima upthread I'm a fan of the Saw Doctors and I've seen them five times .

Also love Classical - I've seen Pavarotti, Tom Jones, Burt Bacharach, Oasis, Jools Holland, Einaudi etc.

Also love Satie and Debusssy (both influenced the development of jazz).

Also saw James Taylor at Cambridge.

Current fave is Chopin - favourite piece being Fantaisie in C sharp minor.

A life without music is no life at all.

I love using Spotify to go on a voyage through the past through music. Different songs take me to places in time, with vivid memories attached. 70s disco and Motown, 80s just about everything, and trance and euphoria in the 90s. I get a bit picky thereafter....

I have an eclectic taste in music, i love to move

Mostly rock. It is my favorite style of music!

In my meantime, I like to play games and I like the background music so much. As we all know how background music plays an important role in movies, games, etc in order to make them playable.

I am very envious of all those who say music calms them, delights them and is a wonderful part of their lives.

That's marvellous. I wish I were the same.

Can’t imagine a world without music. Like classical and modern. Not too keen on country though. Puppini Sisters are good to listen to as some have a faint sound of Glen Miller with good harmony. Like oldies like Dr Hook and 10cc. Prokofiev too.

If you have not heard her singing Isolde’s Liebestod, Marilla, I urge it on you. It is absolutely sublime and reduces me to jelly.

Jessye Norman singing the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss. Haunting, beautiful sounds from the orchestra and soloist. The second and third songs make your spirit soar.

I love Andy Williams, Can’t take my Eyes off You and Frank Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours.

I know I’m a bit of an old fart where my musical tastes are concerned, but I watched a programme on BBC4 recently about Dame Janet Baker, who has long been one of my favourite singers. I love to hear her sing “Where Corals Lie” from Elgar’s Sea Pictures. It was a mesmerising and very moving programme.

Music makes me happy and calm. I go to another world when I listen to music. I love melody and classical music very much. Also, my grand daughter makes me listen to new music every now and then.

I like & listen to most music except heavy metal although I’m not too keen on jazz or anything by rappers.

I’m in the throes of classical pop at the moment with Il Divo at the top of my list. In fact I have treated myself to Meet & Greet tickets with them at Liverpool Echo Arena in June and am dragging DH along in case I’m tempted to disgrace myself!

Bradfordlass I had a difficult childhood (to say the least) and music, especially The Beatles, was an escape for me which is probably why I love music so much

KatyK that would be my answer too but in fact there are a few singers and songs I like. But I probably listen to them once a year!

Jake Thackray is a favourite, as is Georges Brassens, Irish fiddle music and some opera and Poi e - but I can, and mostly do, live without any music and can't wait to get out of shops where it is forced upon the customer.

Oh, and I've just discovered The Civil Wars. Again, they've disbanded [there's a theme running through all this, I think

BBbevan; if you like Bellowhead, have you listened to Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band [a few refugees from Bellowhead amongst them] and Mawkin, who supported Bellowhead on their farewell tour but have now [sadly]also disbanded. We were at a folk festival and a lot of people walked out when Eliza started playing; a lot of people didn't like her style. Bit of a Bob Dylan moment, I thought, but no one, thankfully, shouted 'Judas'.

There is a new Classical music station beginning to broadcast on 4th March. Scala Radio.
Here's a piece about it.

I like 50s and 60s pop music, but also classical music. Next month I`m off with my daughter to our 3rd Classical Spectacular at the Albert Hall, it`s great!
I`m also very partial to anything by Runrig, "music for the soul" as a friend of mine describes them.

Each to their own of course but I asked a friend recently what music she liked. She said 'none'. So I asked what she liked when she was younger. She said 'I don't like music and never have'. I can't imagine a life without music.

Prolific French composer Michel Legrand, who won three Oscars and five Grammys during a career spanning more than half a century, died Saturday aged 86.

Legrand´s music spanned a wide range of styles and genres, and he composed for more than 200 film and TV productions and was associated with over 100 albums.

"Since I was a child, my ambition has been to live completely surrounded by music, my dream was to not miss anything, which is why I have never focused on a single musical discipline," he once said.

He first won an Academy Award in 1969 for the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" from Norman Jewison´s hit thriller "The Thomas Crown Affair".

He followed that with Oscars for his music for "Summer of ´42" in 1972 and for "Yentl" in 1984.

I always liked "Windmills of Your Mind" -not perhaps my favourite but it does remind me of a time when we were young

I like to sing along, so mostly play G&S, various big choral pieces ( Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, requiems, Beethoven 9, Missa Solemnis, Mahler 8), Saw Doctors, Barbra Streisand, Beatles, Pulp, and lots more.
