    I'm also a fan of the low voice. Is anyone familiar with Chaliapin's aria from Dargomyshky's Rusalka, the miller's mad scene? Powerful stuff: you can hear/visualize a father going stark raving mad over the death of his daughter. I've never heard another singer doing anything so moving.

    Hello, Bruce:

    Yes, I have heard the miller's mad scene from Rusalka (1856) by Alexander Dargomijsky. It's a great piece. Chaliapin was a great Russian bass, with an exceptionally dark tone when called for, who also had a remarkable stage presence.

    By the way, there's another version of Rusalka, by Dvorak, with an aria for soprano titled "Song to the Moon." It's glorious.

    A lot of good stuff out there.

    Regards,
    Obie

    What great taste you all have in music. I have a fairly extensive selection of classical music and won't try to mention all of my favorite pieces here. Suffice is to say that my favorite composers are Vivaldi, The 3 B's, (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms), and my all-time favorite is Mozart.

    Regards,

    If anyone is looking for something fun may I suggest Queen of Sheba by Respighi - a great orchestral work.
    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

    Default Favorite pieces of classical music

    Hello, Frankenstein:

    Yes, Ottorino Respighi's Queen of Sheba also has some lush and sexy parts. There is a scene which depicts the Queen of Sheba traveling to meet King Solomon. I forget the scene's title. Talking about sexy music. Oy!

    I loaned my recording of Queen of Sheba to a friend for some research he was doing and never saw it again. The moral of the story is not to ever loan your recordings to anybody.

    Good choice of music.

    Regards
