This is soothing too! Around the 2 minute 15 mark there’s a lovely bit that makes me think of raindrops on a crystal clear lake! Grieg’s Piano Concerto No 1 2nd Movement.

...and another great piece of music ~ I loved it, thanks for sharing Lanny. You're doing a great job introducing me to classical music.

Well, I’ve given up trying to sleep tonight! Always anxious the night before a hospital diabetic review! My DSN is lovely but, it’s the hospital doctor as I’m never sure who I’ll get & some can REALLY make me feel small & belittled. I wish I could just see the DSN & her team that help me with the day to day management!

Anyway @wirralass since you posted Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata a while ago I’d thought I’d post my preferred Fur Elise:-

 
I’m in the mood for opera at the moment & this is a favourite of mine & considered by many as the most beautiful operatic aria ever composed! From Madame Butterfly by Puccini One Fine Day (what the title means when translated from Italian) & sung, also considered by many of which I’m a proponent, as the best ever opera singer Maria Callas! Although some say there’s a flaw in her voice that stops it from being crystal clear, which IS true to an extent. I think she expresses SO much raw emotion: very much like Judy Garland in that regard!

I’m not always in the mood for Mozart as he can be quite heavy going, as indeed I tend to find with all the Baroque composers, but I like this aria The Queen of the Night from the opera The Magic Flute. Also sung by Maria Callas: WOW AMAZING!

 
I love this newly discovered, by me, video of Maria Callas singing Carmen live in concert. I can SO see her on stage in full costume singing & acting this out! I have all of these on CD that I imported into iTunes but, it’s been a revelation to see this video on youtube!
