Welcome listeners. As a break from the pounding electronica, hip-hop and punk that probably pervades your headphones as you push those pixels and vectors fo da dolla, old Cannonball is here to provide some alternatives.
Below are some suggestions (with iTunes links) that I have enjoyed, and I hope you might too. Please feel free to list your own contributions.
Handel's Water Music, Music For The Royal Fireworks (beautifully recorded)-
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…Elgar: Piano Music (3 characteristic pieces) -
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 In E Flat Major -
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…Barber's Adagio for Strings (quiet recording)
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…Beethoven's "pathetique movement" from piano sonata #8 -
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…Gorecki's Symphony #3 (this one just fucking breaks my heart)
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjec…P.S. Sorry for the melancholy slant at the end there. It's late and I dig that shit when I'm about to hit the sack.
