Originally posted by naryaI like Bach's keyboard music better than his orchestral music.
Do concertos count? I swoon over Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, and his concerto for two keyboards in C.
Preludes and Fugues are my favorite, and his organ music
Haydn - Cello
Arnold Bax - Cello
Rachmoninov - Piano Concertos
Samuel Barber - Piano, Violin
Khatchatorian Violin
Prokofiev - Piano
