My Favorite song of all time

I don't have a "classical air" vid to put on right now,but I did figure out something a while back about the youtubes(for anyone here who is unaware of this)

If you want to veiw a youtube thats been posted anywhere on this forum "full screen",Click it on,and after it starts click it one more time and that will take you directly to the original youtube site so it can be watched full screen..

Not exactly classical, but one of my faves: André Gagnon's Comme au premier jour played by a fan of his. She's very good, actually.

The famous "Je crois entendre encore" ("I Think I'm Still Hearing") aria from Les pêcheurs de perles (Pearl Fishers) by Bizet. Tenor: Alain Vanzo.

This is when Nadir recognizes Leila, the priestess he loves, who has returned to his village after many years.

I guess I'll keep this thread alive on my own.

Not Classical (yet), but a magnificent orchestral piece: Ennio Morricone's Le vent, le cri du film "Le professionnel" (1981).



The video is a very idiosincratic version of the history of mass media, it seems.

Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances" has alway appealed to me at a very visceral level. That is, I don't why it touches my soul, it just does.

A rare gem. From the film Giù la testa ("Duck, You Sucker"), from 1971, Ennio Morricone's C'era una volta... la rivoluzione ("Once Upon a Time... the Revolution"), the main theme of the movie.

this is class and was the tune to a tv programme over here back in the day called the life and times of lloyd george

Ennio Morricone- Chi Mai

Lovely tune Natalie.

Here another of my favorite orchestras: Franck Pourcel, The No-Colour Time of the Day. This is the sort of instrumental I love the most.
