I'm seeing Beethoven's 9th for the 4th time soon. Is there a more sublime work than this beautiful masterpiece? I'm afraid not.

You should really post the performer info as well. And maybe some thoughts on the composition and performance? That's what makes the jazz blindfold threads fun.

7 Largo from Sympony n4 - Dvorak

This is my favorite piece from this symphony. Everytime I hear it I can see the unexplored american territories - especially from 6:05 the bass seems like the feet of some wild animal wondering in the forest. Little fun fact I discovered this movement after playing the 2nd and the 4th with the orchestra; I still wonder why we didn't play the 3rd as well, my favourite for sure.

8 La danza - Rossini

This is one of the pieces he composed after his retirement and it's intended for the amusement of himself and his friends. When I hear it I always think of the meeting with Wagner - the guy clearly wasn't thinking about creating the masterpiece of all arts but he still managed to be one of the most important artist of the century. As Montezaffiro stated, the lyrics say "mamma mia" - this is because the words are just an excuse to sing (typical bel canto) and hear the flawless change from major and minor - as someone noticed the singer is Pavarotti.

I like to think of the 2nd movement as like the bridge between the 1st and 3rd in terms of tone. The 1st is dark, and the 3rd is bright, but this is somewhere in the middle.

This is probably the Deutsches Requiem's most powerful part, more than the 6th part. I love the message that the text sends, that man is like grass.
