Listen to more classical music

I’ve been really enjoying listening to some classical indian music, as inspired by a conversation with a good friend in the midst of a huge drum and bass night!

I mentioned to him that I’d been enjoying some indian inspired new age ambient music and he said he preferred it in it’s pure form, I realised I’d never listened to it. It’s beautiful.

Highlights:

Shivkumar Sharma – Alap
Sarwar Sabri – Taal Bundu Khani
Ali Akbar Khan – Raga Ramdas Malhar
Anoushka Shankar – Raga Mishra Piloo (Live) full track

Highlights

Bach – Air in Gstring
Sergei Prokofiev- Dance of the Knights
Dvorak – Allegro Agitato—I think he’s becoming a favourite
Bedrich Smetana – Vltava (Moldau)

Well it’s been a lovely a relaxing day in work, relatively speaking. I’ve enjoyed various classical composers- these are my highlights:

Haydn- Vivace Assai
Tchaikovsky- 1812 Overture
Antonin Dvorak- Molto Vivace, Allegro con Fuoco
Rachmaninoff
Toru Takemitsu
Bach- Sheep may safely graze
Beethoven- Fur Elise
Brahms- Cradle Song
Edvard Gireg- Morning
Mozart- Requiem

Any recommended personal favourites welcome!

I’m listening to ‘Claude Debussy’s similar artists’ on last fm. A great resource for meandering musical exploration.

Classical at work is a good look. I love Drum and Bass but it doesn’t quiet the mind so much! At least not for me.
