Classical



Two songs to try if you want to get into classical music or introduce someone to it are:

From Il gattopardo's score from the 1963 movie, the track 'Angelica e Tancredi' by the famous composer Nino Rota [who did many Fellini movies]. It's beautiful and lush, and is an easy moment of classical music to enjoy.

Then try Mozart's short moment of 'Ah tutti contenti' [Italian: ah all are satisfied/happy] from Act 4 in his 1786 comic [buffa] opera Le Nozze di Figaro [The marriage of Figaro]--there's a great version on the Amadeus 1984 movie soundtrack. It's a very sweet yet relaxing and sweeping piece.
