By special request, let’s discuss our favourite Classic Music and why?

I am just listening to Manuel de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Absolutely beautiful. Whisks me straight back to the Alhambra. I like pretty much all classical composers except Phillip Glass, but my first love is Bach. I like to listen to Radio 3 because they often play contemporary pieces and I like to open my mind to something new now and then. And yes, Chopin is sublime.

I also love your chosen piece of music. Rodriguez Concerto de Aranjuez says something to my soul. My husband was so upset by his youngest brother in law dying he just couldn't think of what music to play at his funeral. I chose that piece for the coffin to come into the crematorium and my husband said it was so moving. If it is on the radio I just have to sit down and stop whatever I am doing and just listen.

Virtually anything by Bach.
Rachmaninov’s Vespers.
Henry Purcell’s opera Dido & Aeneas.
