How about....
a fifth of Beethoven? The second movement is my favorite.

Beethoven's 5th symphony? A great piece, for sure! Often, this symphony gets its popularity from the famous 1st movement, but the entire symphony is gorgeous.

I would agree with you, the second movement is also my favourite, but also the uplifting final movement!

gotta love Ludwig!!
All his work is profound. When he was very young and there were no cloud on his horizon, he composed this joyful quartet;www.youtube.com.

There is so much to listen to. More often then not i have Beethoven or some other great composer playing in my headset as i look through my telescope. It fits somehow with what I'm looking at.



and Boccherini was no slouch either as this romantic piece shows;

Sibelius
I like him very much, yes. His violin concerto, probably the most difficult of the "great" classical concertoes for that instrument ... sublime! One of my most treasured recordings is with Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg playing it. Simply fantastic!
I can't find the Salerno-Sonnenberg rendition on Youtube, but Hilary Hahn is almost as good: www.youtube.com  

His symphonies are good too, but I am love with his tone poems. Stuff like "Scene with cranes" www.youtube.com and "Valse triste" from Kuolema ("Death") www.youtube.com simply knocks me over. No words.

Sibelius
Hi Bjorn,

I think you already know I am a huge Sibelius fan!  

His Violin Concerto is currently my favourite in the repertoire. I love the Hilary Hahn recording.

His symphonies, I love them all. My favourite symphony of his keeps changing, but currently it is Symphony No. 6 is my favourite. I have the Maazel set, conducting the Vienna Philarmonic.

I don't know a lot about classical music either, except that I love Beethoven and Mozart. I love to listen to all kinds of music and I have enjoyed listening to the youtube links posted.

Your English is great, BV. I can understand you perfectly!
