Concierto d'Aranjuez by Rodrigo is one of my favourites.

But there are many other pieces I love too.

I like Vaughan Williams but have to say if I need a good old cheery up that Holst (sp) Planets is marvellous !! Makes you all determined and bold!

I know what you mean Maddie. I like what I like but I don't know most of the time what exactly that is.

I have an opera album too that I put on occassionally and warble along to when I'm on my own. I'd love to learn more about both classical and opera xx

Mine is Adagio in G minor by Albinoni ........first heard it at the end of the film Gallipoli and I've loved it ever since........

I'm no classical music buff but I'd like to be educated....what's your favourite classical piece? xx
