When I want something explosive, I look to Tchaikovsky or Beethoven. Who else is good here?
biber's missa salisburgensis or bach's b minor mass. the missa salisburgensis was written to be played in the salzberg cathedral which has awful acoustics, everything echoes. biber couldn't write anything too complicated or else it would just mush together, so it's more or less just random blasting with trumpets & trombones for 1hr.

For pure joy- Händel or Pachelbel's Canon in D. Others?
again, biber's missa salisburgensis & bach's b minor mass. or maybe bach's goldberg variations. i talked to a lady who listened to a lot of jazz & she liked the goldberg variations because they sounded just like little improvs, the playing/writing was so expressive.

I usually want something quieter, pensive. My favorites here are (The piano and cello are also my favorite intruments.)
Bach's Cello Suites
the cello suites is probbaly my favourite music. I've got ~23 recordings + a couple on order & they're all great in their own way. I've also got ~15 recordings of the solo violin stuff.


Do any Motown people listen to the Temptations?
