I like so many, but I suppose if I had to choose just one it would be J.S.Bach Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring. I think it is a perfect piece in its simplicity, melody and sentiment.

Thank you

Right at the top of my list perhaps a hair below Air On a G String. But they're really close.

I came here to say that too. Yes, Pachelbel's Canon is my favorite. I love how impressive it's melody. So harmonized and unforgetable.

I would have to say Arvo Part's Spiegel Im Spiegel with piano and violin, it has such feeling and grace with every note

At this point, I will have to say that I adore Mozart's Requiem, especially the Lacrimosa, as I sang that in college. They played parts of it in "Elizabeth" -- so kudos to the director, even though he got most of her story wrong.

for some reason, that just gets me every time! i sang alto, & that was almost 20 yrs ago lol. you know, if you like vivaladi, have you tried telemann? same vein -- he's very relaxing. also, salirewri -- if you try cecilia bartoli's album on salieri, i really don't think you'll be disappointed.

I like all of the songs from Vivaldi's Four Seasons,and my favorite out of that is Winter. I've also liked Mozart's Eine Kline Nachtmusik since I was tiny. So many great pieces out there, it's hard to pick just one.

I can't really choose, because there are so many wonderfull pieces, so my favorite one changes from time to time. Now i would say that Dance of the sugar plum fairy by Tchaikovsky. Because it sounds really graceful, i love playing it.

My favourite pieces are

Brahms "Ein deutsches Requiem" the whole requiem!!Can't decide which part is the best

Wagner ....everything he's composed is amazing, especially his monumental opera "Tristan und Isolde"

I also love

Edvard Grieg-Hall of the mountain king

and various stuff by Rachmaninov, Mahler,Bach

My favourite opera pieces:

"O mio babbino caro" from Puccinis "Gianni Schicci"

"Oh zittre nicht mein lieber Sohn" from Mozarts "Zauberflöte"

"O Fortuna" from Carl Orffs "Carmina Burana"

"Vide cor meum" which I know from a movie but I don't know who's the composer...still it's beautiful!!

"Herr Tristan tretet nah" from Wagners "Tristan and Isolde"

"Habanera" from Bizets "Carmen"

....wow I love lot's of opera stuff....can't get enough of opera! Love composers such as Purcell or Dowland a lot too
Purcells "Music for a while" is another wonderful one!!

oh and of course from Bachs "Weihnachtsoratorium" the breathtaking alto-arias "Schlafe mein Liebster" and "Bereite dich Zion"
