In an effort to bring classical music to a wider crowd than those with white hair, I create a page where I will place what I believe to be the most inspiring and inspired music I have ever listened to. I invite you to sit back in your chair as you listen to these pieces and let the music consume your soul. Really pay attention to the music: the chords, the harmonies, the emotions, the anything. Everything is there. I won’t tell you what I feel, because I think that ruins the experience of this kind of music.
Just listen.

I’ll be updating regularly, once I rebuild my iTunes account. I’m in the process of putting all my classical music into my computer, so once that’s finished, I’m sure this list will grow. But for now, this is it. Enjoy!
