Your Favourite Classical Music Pieces

[threespires]

Not to sound morbid.
But I have loved this for more than thirty years,I bought it first on cassette.Divine.

Faure's Requiem.

It's not morbid it's simply beautiful. First recording I bought of it was by the Monteverdi Choir in the mid-90s it's not one of the celebrated recordings but that album (includes other choral works inc. Debussy and Sain-Saens) remains one of my favourites.

Not sure if it's the only requiem to include the In Paradisum but it's atypical and it's a beautiful way to end the piece.

As well as traditional liturgical works I keep meaning to try some modern choral works too but never quite get round to it/know where to start.
