My main beef with Classic FM is their insistence in playing Gregorian chant with 157 verses. That when I swap to JazzFM.

It just hits some nerves because it's tears everytime I hear it.

Here's a few of my favourites
Bach, St John Passion: nearly two hours of utter perfection
View: https://youtu.be/SiKgrevzT-g
Schubert's 9th Symphony: a rather good Vienna Phil concert conducted by Sir John Elliot Gardener. The Vienna Phil horn section always play an unusual and old fashioned style of horn which adds something I think. I have maybe 6 or 7 recordings of this, some good, some bad, but this one one youtube does have a good swing to it, and Schubert does need to swing

Rite of Spring. Here's a linky to a ballet performance - gig proper starts 4 mins in. One of those pieces which changed music. Before and after the rite is a boundary in music history.

And another piece which changed music into before and after. Beethoven's 3rd symphony

The piece does the same for me, any recording. Don't know why, it has no associations good or bad. Beautiful, but I avoid listening to it.

Alas I don't know much about music. But I know what I like.
Beethoven WoO 80
Love this video for labelling the variations for me

I went to see this movie ten times as a child - just for the soundtrack. The film was crap - even back then
