helena Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Imagine your driving through the English country side, it's a rainy afternoon, you've just left behind a stupid amount of stress and problems and it's all melting away now. You pop in a cd (or however people listen to music now)... :) What are you listening to? Educate me! Thanks for any help Edited August 3, 2016 by helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithr Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Lately, I have been in a Baroque mood so anything Handel, Bach or Vivaldi. But I also have taken a liking to Brahms a lot. His Haydn variations and his Hungarian Dances are lovely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 My hubby can listen to these without getting bored. Holst - The Planets Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. Satie's Gymnopédies Bartok - any of his works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The Lark Ascending, by Vaughan Williams. Oh, definitely. A drive through the English Countryside calls for Vaughan Williams for sure. Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis is my ultimate favorite, though I do love the Lark Ascending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The Planets by Holst. Specifically, the performance by the LA Philharmonic conducted by Zubin Metha. Otherwise, Satie, Debussy, Chopin, or maybe Einuadi even though he isn't technically classical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Faure, Elgar's Nimrod, Lark Ascending, Greensleeves, Traumerai, liebestraume number3, and one more I have to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Laura The cold weather is much needed. We're from Southern California and it's been miserable there. Would you believe we ate vegan haggis today?!? The classical music is also appreciated, as we've just spent the last four days at a punk music festival. :) Can't wait to explore the city tomorrow!
