Favorite classical music songs

[kayanat]

What are some of your favorite classical music songs? Recently I've been into classical music. Before i wouldn't be caught dead listening to classical music but now I'm more open minded. I bought the cd "the beauty of barber" and i loved it, especially Adagio for strings. I also bought Debussy's clair de lune but that was thanks to Twilight. I perfer more soothing and relaxing music. Something i could read to or fall asleep to. what would you recomend? what are your favorites

Oh, I just love classical music! Beethoven is one of my favorite conductors. Fur Elise, and Cannon D are a couple of my top favorites. Cannon D always gets to me though.

I agree with melinawaugh, too many to choose from...
YES! This is one of my favorites, in accord with HappyGal, CJ & fluffy: Pachelbel's canon in D Major. It's a beauty.

Im posting Debussy's, 'Clair de Lune' video. I love the piano music machine used in this video!
