I love the Gymnopodies almost as much as the Gnossiennes. I particular like Reibert De Leeuw's rendition: http://onayahuasca.blogspot.com/2008/11/saties-gnossiennes-by-reinbert-de-leeuw.html
I don't much care for X-mas, but I appreciate religious music. I find Mahler's 4th more pastoral than
Van Beethoven - 6th symphony.
Mahler - 3th symphony. ("bîmm-bâmm...bîmm-bâmm...")
Zoltan Kodaly - Hary Janos Suite
Claude Debussy - La Mer
It's indeed his most well known piece. I visited his birthplace in Hungary last year (a small city called Kecskemet), so that's where I got to know him. The Hungarians consider him one of their greatest composers (together with Bela Bartok and Franz Liszt)I know only one piece by Kodaly, probably the Hary Janos Suite (originally an opera)
Dmitri Shostakovitch - Symphony No. 13, "Babi Yar:" Adagio
Approporiately powerful for such a grim and tragic subject. Very moving.
