Under Appreciated Classics

As the title says, this is for pieces of music you feel are under appreciated. I will start with Vaughan Williams Symphony No 5 third movement Romanza.

And all the world is football shaped, It's just for me to kick in space. And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste.

Hooked on Classics was really original and got a few people into listening to classical music who didn't normally take any interest in that type of music. I grew up on the Classic Experience CD's, same idea putting a load of well-known pieces of music on a CD. That really helped me develop a taste for certain types of music, though my dad hated them.  ;D  Anyway, what about.....

Some great pieces from Grieg who was one of my favourite composers from early on.

In The Hall of the Mountain King (Choir version)

Missus practices a lot with Benjamin Britten's Cello Suite No. 2, Op. 80. It's grown on me.
