I’m no expert but I do find I can get lost in a world of mine own listening to classical music.

What are your favourites I’d list the Romeo and Juliet piece which is theme tune to the apprentice, Zadok the Priest by Handel and the theme to the Godfather, that’s just for starters.

We are both big fans of JS Bach and Brahms but my absolute favourite piece of music is Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. I'm more into instrumental music but Hannah likes a lot of choral music.

I (Luke) do music appreciation lessons. There's a whole world to understand in this music. It's not just pretty tunes. The way great music is put together is fascinating and understanding what the composer wants you to understand is truly revelatory and leads to much greater enjoyment. It can sound a bit technical but putting a bit of effort in is hugely rewarding.

Southport / Ellesmere Port

For me it's Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D

Many later rock groups have used this as the base for their own songs

I think you’ve explained that very well.

Some great metal adaptations of this (my fave piece of classical)

Matt Rach has done a few over the years and each time he becomes more refined in his take on it

.

Baroque period generally for me with a strong leaning towards orchestra and quartet arrangements - my absolute fave because it's the first piece I played 1st violin in would be Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D Minor.

A great modern version is by a band called Spiritualized - song called aptly (given recent anniversary events) "Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space"

Googled this and listened to the 2016 version ... was doing ok until 0.42 .. then it went a bit off piste for me

Interesting though as the ground bass can still be heard
