Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI are my favorite.

I've always been into classical music. I always play some classical music in our house while my daughter is playing with her toys, that way the ambiance in the house is relaxing.

Here's an interesting piece featuring Yo Yo Ma, which I hope all enjoy?

I like the music of the Troubadours, from the 11th and 12th centuries.

In classical music for me the easiest pieces to like are either those that are totally absract , or - the opposite- that are totally pictorial and cinematic.

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto is abstract pure music. Very jazz-like. Even volume level- and an unstoppable basso continuo ( kinda like the walking bass in jazz).

On the other hand if you want to focuas on a story line with vivid mental pictures - id recomend " Schaharazade", or "Pictures At An Exhibition" by Ravel, or VIvaldi's "Four Seasons".
