Flurin, thanks for the link.

I cant blame you for that.

But I thought the piano didn't exist in Bach's time! You are right. I mean harpsichord (clavier). How come nobody mentioned Chopin? Of course his Mazurkas and Nocturnes are my favorite.

If you're enjoying that one, then be sure to check out it's sister recording, "Serenity". you can add this one (Voyage) to the list:

I'll add some more of my favorite piano pieces: Mozart: piano sonatas. Felix Mendelssohn: Songs Without Words. Schubert :4 Impromptus. Franz Liszt: Transcendental Etudes. Maurice Ravel: Gaspard de la nuit.

Happy 2011 Birthday Alexander! Best wishes from Tel-Aviv.

Disk #2.

My daughter (16) watched the whole ceremony. I think she also wants to marry a prince.

Since I became interested in music, I loved pieces written specifically for piano. There are wonderful pieces of classical music written specifically for piano and I will mention a few of my favorite. Many pianists consider the 32 piano sonatas written by Beethoven as their bible. Among all these sonatas, my favorite are the storm sonata (sonata # 17) and sonata # 8 (the Pathétique). Of all the works of JS Bach I especially like the 6 partitas and to be more specific, Partita # 2. I have in my collection 2 great performances of this Partita: Glenn Gould and Martha Argerich. Claud Debussy also wrote some masterpieces for piano. I consider the Suite Bergamasque to be the highlight of his piano works. Another favorite work for piano written by Debussy is " Cloches à travers les feuilles" (Bells through the leaves). I can't write about piano pieces without mentioning Robert Schumann. Of all his piano works, my favorite is the "Kreisleriana". I still have a long list of favorite piano pieces but at this point I'd love to read what other forum members like.

Disk #1:

My thoughts, exactly. It was a very exciting scene at the end to see Raul Gonzales and Ryan Giggs Hugging each other.

I wonder who is this beautiful model.

Fleetwood Mac: Albatross.
