Classical Fab Hall of Fame

Morning everyone. I am a great lover of classical music. This weekend sees this years Classic FM 2018 Hall of Fame announced. A feast of the world's greatest loved classical pieces voted by the public.

With this in mind, i was wondering; what is your all time, most favoured classical piece of music?

I hear some say, i don't know any! Or maybe you don't like classical. Well, most of us will unknowingly know classical music in some shape or form...maybe its something modern like Ludovico Einaudi or maybe its that tune from the movie Platoon (Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings) or that wonderful classical guitar and the theme to the Deer Hunter( Myers' Cavatina). Whether you know it from the silver screen, an advert, radio or are a big fan. I want to hear your favourites and if you want to add why, that would be even better. Music evokes strong and deep feelings in us all, so there's always a why. So let's be having your classical side today folks. I hope you enjoy listening to all the suggestions

Such a well thought out post and no replies. I'm afraid I'm really not into classical music, though I have always loved Cavatina. I also liked the music from the Lord of the rings films, but I have no idea what it's called or who composed it.

Cavatina is so beautiful. I thought it may have been a more popular post than it has turned out in the Ireland forum. I posted in the Lounge too. It has been more popular there.

Howard Shore composed most of the score in the Lord of the Rings films.

A real favourite would be An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno..... maybe not strictly classical but a truly stunning piece.

NYTHING by Ludovico Einaudi .... Elegy for the Arctic is amazing ..... turn the speakers right up, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the sounds.

The legend that is Ennio Morricone..... love all his work too and especially the pieces from the spaghetti westerns.

Yerra there are too many really to pick from

Air on a G String...phnaaar only kidding!

Looking at the recent snow I listened to Ryuichi Sakamoto - Forbidden Colours, you all know it, a melody you hear with your ear, feel with your soul, and love from the heart, its timeless yet makes you think of your youth.

Nimrod, from the enigma variations by Elgar. But it’s annoying the life out of me now it seems to be in every other crappy advert on tv!
