Lara makes this piece her own. Astonishing emotional maturity in one so young.

All these years and that big old eye of Jupiter has just been laughing at us? Guess he had good cause.

One thing I wonder,
                             What marvelous creations would these Composers of yesteryear have come up with, with modern instruments added into their soundscape. ?

Anyway, I don't go to sleep to classical music, I wake up with it, sometimes to this.
It starts off like me, still half asleep, but gradually wakes up  :)




P.S
    My neighbours love me  :)

I really enjoyed that. Thanks Tuxfriend... I think this is part of the soundtrack to the film 'The Hours'..

Great choice... I love the 1812 symphony myself. As a boy I was fascinated by the cannon fire and imagery of Napoleonic war. The neighbours also hated me  ;D

Insanely good. You can feel his pain in each note. Like a trapped animal.
