A little hyperbole aside, this is some really good stuff:

The Complete Beethoven Piano Sonata Cycle

Okay, so I only know the one with names. Check out the Waldstein.

Awesome, very good find. Locally I listen to our Classical station, and they usually play BBC / NPR stuff. [Smile]

Speaking of beautiful music, I just discovered Elliot Smith. I had noticed his songs in Good Will Hunting and The Royal Tenenbaums and thought, "Gee, that's really pretty," but I just downloaded a bunch of songs (Yes, I steal music)and this guy is awesome. Okay, he's not Beethoven, but its still a shame he's not around any more.

My favorite is number 24 in F sharp major. I don't have a reason why. There is something charming and mischevious about the first movement, and there is a strange dignity in the second. It's a baby sonata, but it's still my favorite.

Somalian, this link is awesome.

I LOVE good piano music, but I think that Yo-Yo Ma's Cello music is every bit as good as this, particularly his Back Suites.

I have been listening to them for a few weeks now, off and on, and really love them.

Thanks for the link though, now I have something to listen to when I am done with the Bach... [Big Grin]

I saw Yo Yo Ma play, he came to IU, and performed a concert a few years ago... it was an amazing experience.

I love Yo Yo Ma. He's another one of those over 40 year old men I do NOT have a crush on....
But he's so dreamy and talented.

If you want to hear the most beautiful singing, listen to Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Especially his Sviridov. I love Svridov.
