thanks, I appreciate! of course, in future lists I'll try to share Rachmaninoff, but my "soviet" favorite composers are Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev ;)

Hi, can I just ask you who the composer is of the very first piece on this playlist i.e. ´Links´? Fantastic playlist, great motivator for us university students. ;) Thanks.

Oh, really! I didn´t realize that this was Hisaishi! I am a huge fan of Miyazaki, so this is pretty cool! Thank you for your reply. You really know your way around classical/classical contemporary music. ;)

Mmmm, loved this long and beautiful mix!
Your instrumental version of the Léo Delibes-'Flower Duet' was wonderful and new to me, as many other tunes.
My fav is the last tune from the so creative and important Terry Riley. Merci ! ☆★✫

thanks a lot for listening! I like Léo Delibes and all variations around his amazing music. I have a weakness for music of Romanticism era.
Yes, exactly! Last tune is very crative and hypnotizing. When I firstly met this track I immediately decided that it musr be in the end of some future mix ;)

Curious fact: The song 'Fish Beach' by Michael Nyman was originally used in the film 'The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover' with Helen Mirren. A very Avant-garde film c:

as I know, Michael Nyman worked with the director Peter Greenaway in his most important films (Drowning By Numbers, ZOO, The Draughtsman's Contract...). they form a perfect ensemble!
