i like Wagner, listened to it driving up the California coast once, to keep me awake ...
like Vivaldi ... like a piece by Prokofiev, or maybe another composer, heard it on the radio but haven't found it since, think it was about summer.
the Russian men's choral background to the PBS special on the Siberian Express was good, but i emailed the show and they didn't have a source for it.
i like the Saber Dance, too, ...
BTW the opening music on Akiro Kurosawa's Throne of Blood is very good, a reedy flute tune with drums in the background, replayed it several times the other day.

Originally posted by zeeblebotI don't know Japanese classical music too well (do they have baroque & romantic periods too I wonder)--but I'm fairly well into Indian classical music (in all its variety) and Sufi qawwali (Nusrat Ali Fateh Khan most famous example). There are some interesting East/West crossovers, like Philip Glass & Ravi Shankar, Ravi Shankar & Yehudi Menuhin...
