    I've always had a thing for Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade.

    Hard to choose only one, but it would have to be Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3.

    After that, anything by Bach or a cello and Yo-Yo Ma will do nicely.

    Yes, yes, and yes, good sir! I don't know why I so love the Beethoven quartets. String Quartet in C# Minor from Op 131 is part of my regular rotation for morning shave music. It is so melancholy, and yet it exudes such beauty that one can enjoy its sadness and still come away feeling good... what a genius Beethoven was.

    Hello, Mr. David:

    You have excellent taste. The Opus 131, composed around 1825 and 1826, comes from Beethoven's introspective period. By then he was completely deaf (he died in Vienna in 1827, and his funeral was packed with 20,000 people). Yes, the piece is melancholy and exceptionally beautiful. Makes you reach within yourself for all kinds of reflection. Ah yes, the great Beethoven.

    Regards,
    Obie

    Hello, Blue:

    Rostropovich was a great cellist. The cello he uses — that might be the one — has a little nick in it caused by Napoleon's boot spur, when the emperor had tried to play it. I forget who the cello's owner was at the time.

    Regards,
    Obie

    When I find myself sitting in my office on rainy days, trying unsuccessfully to concentrate, I enjoy Debussy, especially the Preludes, Bk. 2.

    At other times, and obviously for other reasons, there is always Wagner . . .

    When I think of music to associate with a straight razor shave it has to be something testosterone filled like the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. However, I don't have the nerve to try shaving while it's playing. And, to induldge in a bit of irony, here it is played by a girl.
