I am probably one the least cultured people you could meet, I do enjoy though a bit of classical music, far from an expert, my gaps in knowledge are great, I tend to go for the sweeping stuff, you can stick your violin ditties, have never done anything for me, so, if you allow me, here is a few of ones I stick on when I am in the mood.
To start of Ralph Vaughan Williams ''Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus'' based on an old English folk song it premiered in Carnegie Hall in 1939.

Arvo Part's Spiegel im Spiegel next (mirror in a mirror) written just before he fled his native Estonia in the late 70s, took me a few hearings to get into it, now I love it.

I could put the classical version of this up, stuff it, put the Brassed Off one up instead, marvellous.

Lastly a bit of Shostakovich, I could clog the forum up with him, but I have had my bit of self indulgence!
