Just the other day I heard a piece which I'd like to add to my favourites. Its

Sensemaya- Silvestre Revueltas (probably spelled wrong hehe)

So many this is just impossible.

I'll name a few that pop into my head right now.

Shostakovich - Violin concerto n

Beethoven - Symphony NO. 3, 5 and 9

Vivaldi - too much to mention

Bach - Badinieri

I think Chopin's Ballade No.1 for me is the most complete work ever although is for solo piano.

Every time when I hear it in the end I feel complete too like there is nothing more to hear.

By the way the better interpretation I have heard of this piece is played by Zimerman.

Death and Transfiguration by Strauss

Symphony No. 4 by Brahms

Oboe Concerto in C minor by Marcello

St. Matthew Passion by Bach

and Beethoven's Choral Fantasy

Bartok Concerto for Orchestra.

I recently discovered Delius' On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring. Sublime.

Bartok - Romainian Folk Dances

Beethoven - Symphony 6 "Pastoral"

Haydn - Symphony 103

Mozart - Symphony 31

Ravel - Concerto pour le main gauche

1. Schubert: String Quartet #15 in G: An amazing, symphonic masterpiece, a must hear, and a rival to Beethoven's late masterpieces...

2. Bach: A Musical Offering: A highpoint for Bach, who was the highpoint for the Baroque...

3. Mendelssohn: Octet: rich, vibrant, and brilliant to boot.

I used as a standard the music I go back to to hear over and over...

Ok, so. I haven't listened to much Bach in a while, and now I'm remembering that the Brandenburg Concerti are some of my favorite pieces ever written by anyone, ever.
