The old question... If you stuck on a desert island?

and had only one piece of music to listen to, what would it be?

The Rite of Spring, for me :)

What a horrible choice for one to have to make.

If it were an absolute, have to, "must do", situation, then there would be no indecision on my part:

Wagner's, "The Ring of the Nibelung". That way, one would at least have 15-16 hours of pleasure and enjoyment.

Wotan

BOSTON - Debut album

Bread Anthology

Since this is the classical music forum and not pop, I would have to say Respighi's "Pines of Rome."

A.

my band (same difference) or the pink floyd album, dark side of the moon

311- Music

I would have to say Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". This is a rather long Rhapsody, but it has much variation in the music.

Bach's Brandenburg concertos

Very difficult. Maybe anything with Callas, Gobbi. Gigli, Pinza.

Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto (Entremont/Bernstein). Fabulous!

Terry Riley "In C" or the Cage piece that's playing on organ right now and lasts for centuries (the name escapes me)

So, seriously... Wagner's "Ring" cycle or a good Beethoven piano sonata.

Bach's solo works for cello

Vivaldi "The Four Seasons".....without a doubt !!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so bad leaving out Bach my favorite, and all my other favorites but you did say one piece of music !!!!!!!!!
