[Kafein]

People need trash TV, shit reality shows and crappy talent shows re-cycling the same plastic europop nonsense over and over instead.

sad.

I don't think that's really a thing in Turkey.

The second movement of Beethoven's 9th, gives me goosebumps  :shock:

That Handel piece!! OUFF.  I love it.  Hence why the Baroque period stands out in time -- at least to me.

Another favorite, early baroque composer, CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI.

I think the voices were transcribed to strings here.

Here is some lesser-known classical guitar music. "The Classical Guitar is a miniature orchestra within itself. " - Beethoven 

Paganini's concerto for guitar and violin, just awesome.

Concerto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo, Adagio

(click to show/hide)

Recuerdos de la Alhambra, by Francisco Tárrega, so sad. 

(click to show/hide)

La Catedral by Agustin Barrios Mangore

(click to show/hide)

Capricho Arabe - Francisco Tárrega. Very melodic 

(click to show/hide)

And finally, Asturais by Issac Albeniz, it'd be a sin not to include it in any compilation of classical guitar music.
