The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music

London Philharmonic Orchestra, David Parry
Classical · 2009

Editors’ Notes Full of the memorable and deeply sentimental moments that make classical music timeless, this collection from the LPO is riveting. The “Air” from Bach’s ethereal third orchestral suite receives a light and breezy interpretation, while the pulse of Mozart’s familiar, magnetic “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” makes it difficult to stay seated. The album rounds out with high-flying moments of electricity (Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”) and pensive, impressionistic vibes (Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”), as well as one of music’s most unabashedly romantic works: the “Adagietto” from Mahler’s Fifth.
