Strange - usually people who prefer Wagner find Otello more to their liking. Oh well.

Yes, maybe, but unfortunately it's not my case; it can be even stranger as I'm Italian  :P

Today:

Wagner: Siegfried, finale both of the 2nd and the 3rd act
Holst: Venus, Jupiter and Uranus from "The Planets"
Respighi: Pines of Rome
Mahler: Symphony No.1, 2^ movement

I tend to enjoy Verdi's music a lot - very melodic, beautiful and easy to adore. But I agree with Ilaria, not much of what I have heard of Verdi is as powerful or beautiful as his "heir" Puccini. The Requiem though is an exception to this, such an amazing piece.

Today for me, mainly:
Bruckner 9 Scherzo
Mahler Symphony no.3 m1
Mahler Symphony no.6 m1
Mahler Symphony no.7 m1
Mahler 8 various parts
Tchaikovsky Nutcracker finale
Prokofiev R+J
Shostakovich Symphony no.11 m2 climax
Holst Planets, Uranus.

Why am I not surprised to see so much Mahler's music? :P

Joking aside, outstanding works in the list! :)

I thought this thread was about earworms. Does having a squirm a minute count?

Quoting myself!

As I anticipated, I now have the Holst Planets flying around in my head!
In particular, the beautiful Venus, ending of Saturn, Uranus, and the magical ending to Neptune. Great piece, looking forward to the concert performance I'll be taking part in next Saturday! :)

Also recently, a lot of the Elgar Cello Concerto, another of the pieces in the programme next Saturday! :)

A tune from Bach's cello suites, don't know which, but I think it's a finale.

EDIT: My bad! The gavotte from #6. And it's still going.

Forgot to mention 'The Planets'! That has certainly been in mind every day for a while now, today in particular it was the beautiful ending to Venus.

Also forgot to mention:

Hmm, as you mentioned it, I could listen to that symphony later, after finishing Strauss' Don Juan :)
