Left ear: Handel, O love divine, Theodora

Right ear, thanks to the incessant chatter on the sanguine thread: King Crimson, The Night Watch, Starless and Bible Black

Of course, that's true! How could I forget about Brahms No.3? Then, let's say that No.4 is my favourite along with No.3 ;)

Joe Brahms #3 is my go-to piece for a Romantic symphony. All four mvts flow wonderfully together...

..so now it's in my head.   :)

Tom Waits,

A foreign affair
juxtaposed with a stateside
and domestically approved
romantic fancy...

and the first as well, Ilaria!
I would find it so difficult to choose between the 1st/3rd and 4th. Such masterpieces!

For me today, so far:

Strauss Also Sprach Zarathustra
Roussel Symphony no.3, and also the Suite in F
MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER

More later!

At this point, isn't it easier to say that we love all Brahms symphonies? ;)

Absolutely! :)

Cannot get the final movement from Roussel's Suite in F out of my mind! :D

XTC,

And never more to fire them!

The peripatetic opener from Haydn's Philosopher symphony.

Love it when I have my own compositions in my mind! Today, kept thinking of my "Rhapsody for Orchestra" which was recently premiered, I cannot wait to hear the recording that was made! :)

Also:
MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER MAHLER

Roussel Symphony no.3/Suite in F
What is it with these two pieces?! They seem to reoccur in my mind nearly ever day! ;)

As soon as I step into the cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral I hear the baritone solo from the 'Libera me' of Faure's Requiem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQAfZaKqe-I

I have been in choir to sing the piece there, but never in the cloisters and I have sung a number of other things there. So I don't know why I experience this trigger. It does not happen to me when I walk into the choir stalls, from where I sang the piece. Odd.

I noticed! ;)

Adding to my previous post today:
Rachmaninov Piano concerto no.3
The lyrical, romantic section from the 1st movement, that also returns in the finale.
Anyone who has me on facebook will probably be able to guess why this is in my mind!  :)
