This is one of my favorite pieces to listen to. It’s just so much fun. Russian composer superiority

This is such a fun march, but God is it hard. Those poor trombones’ arms have to be flying. Definitely a top tier screamer nonetheless

I’m reading through a basic music theory book right now, and they mentioned Liebestraum No. 3, a piece who’s name I didn’t recognize. Of course I now know this is a famous work I’ve heard probably 100s of times, but this was my first full listen through. An absolute delight

This is such a fun piece, and Hadas performs it so effortlessly that I had to share. One of my personal favorites

Not a classical aficionado or even one for solo violin, but I gave this a listen while on a walk and it kinda blew me away.

The compositions are rather dynamic and beautiful. But also, the playing, as a non-expert, is ridiculous. Smooth and skilful as you’d expect but also just beastly. Like I’m not convinced this is a solo violin, Hahn is all over that instrument!

Ukulele and Bach. What an excellent combination.

Here's a little blurb from the Wikipedia article on the piece:

The Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, composed by Edvard Grieg in 1868, was the only concerto Grieg completed. It is one of his most popular works and is among the most popular of the genre.

Grieg's concerto provides evidence of his interest in Norwegian folk music; the opening flourish is based on the motif of a falling minor second followed by a falling major third, which is typical of the folk music of Grieg's native country. This specific motif occurs in other works by Grieg, including the String Quartet No. 1. In the last movement of the concerto, similarities to the halling (a Norwegian folk dance) and imitations of the Hardanger fiddle (the Norwegian folk fiddle) have been detected.

The amount of power behind that horn section...

Here's another excellent rendition of Horse-Racing, this time accompanied by piano:

I love the energy of the piece! It's upbeat and evermore a joy to listen to.
