+ Let it be understood that those who are not found living as He taught are not Christian- even though they profess with their lips the teaching of Christ.

Reps: 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (power: 9,223,372,036,854,780) | | My first record set was of the Brandenburg Concertos - Deutsche Grammophon
I'm an avid lover of Johann Strauss Jr. - There's a Russian Men's Chorus version of the Blue Danube that is great, if you like hearing the lyrical version.
Haydn I absolutely love too - you can hear in his works how much fun he had composing. My dream someday would be to conduct his Surprise Symphony. ( I conduct as well as those who play air guitar play the real guitar  ).
I've always loved Mozart too. Been to Salzburg, seen his birth house, etc.
And then there's Beethoven - powerful, inspiring...
Like Aaron Copeland too, for contemporary masters. |
