Enrich Me.
I realize I usually let the N*P update sit longer than this, but today I had a request I wanted to make sure I got out there.
I just finished this TED Talk (if you don't know the TED Talk series, you should check it out; every one I've watched has been great, and I all but guarantee that you will find someone who shares a passion of yours and talks about it brilliantly), and I find myself wanting to seek out classical music. Unfortunately I cannot afford SF Symphony tickets right now, so I am forced to go canned.
So my request is, recommend something to me. A composer, a piece, a movement of a larger piece, a specific arrangement or a symphony whose arrangements you love; whatever it is, drop it on me. My brain requires new wrinkles. In advance: thanks.

You'll be surprised how many you'll recognize. Like Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Opus 125, more commonly known as "Ode To Joy". Others have contributed to or deeply influenced 20th century rock pieces like "Air On A G String" by Bach appears as a motiv within "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.
Wagner "Ride of the Valkyries" will be familiar, I'll bet. Plus he was Hitler's inspirational music. Check him out.
For yourself, because he was wonderful, try Debussy. Clare de Lune, especially.
"Sonata Pathetique" by Beethoven and "Largo" by Handel.
