General comment: Feel free to comment on musical contributions, but at least accompany it with a choice of your own. I'd also like to reiterate if people can provide links, please post them!

Bach, Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 (performed on piano)

Would have mentioned this myself as I very much enjoy Glenn Gould's recordings. Also his rendering of the Goldberg Variations.

(Ar regards Cage's 4'33'' I reckon any composer/musician will appreciate an audience to remain quiet for the duration of a piece. It is the main reason I personally prefer recordings over live performances, as I find any noises from the audience quite distracting.)

Faure's Nocturnes

various excerpts from Fauré's Nocturnes here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=faure+nocturnes&aq=f

Mahler - 3th symphony >Das trunkene Lied<. Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Riccardo Chailly conducting.

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=mahler+3rd+symphony&aq=0&oq=mahler+3 (various movements)

Never understood why the intricate 4th movement's Das trunkene Lied (after Nietzsche's Also sparch Zarathustra) is followed by the "Bimmm-bammm..." chorus of the 5th and last movement...

Tchaikovsky concerto #1; sounds a bit like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWerj8FcprM except a superior version.

You know ofcourse he renamed it "Eroica" following his disappointment in Napoleon. I find the 6th more peaceful myself.

Mahler - 5th symphony. Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Riccardo Chailly conducting.

eh? Is that not the 3rd Symphony he renamed, not the 5th? And there is a 6th Symphony?

Listening to "Flight of the Valkaryies"
Makes me want to go invade Poland.

Beethoven had 9 symphonies. The 3rd one, originally the "Bonaparte" symphony, was renamed the "Eroica" symphony after Napoleon crowned himself emperor.
