Most people know of Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), or at least of his “Spring” from the “Four Seasons” suite, but I personally prefer the closing concerto, “Winter”...



Johannes Pachelbel (1653-1706) is another name many people will not know, but you're sure to recognise this piece, his “Canon in D Major”. Apologies in advance for the stupid ad before this video.



Proving that there were still some amazing classical musicians alive and writing incredible music well into the twentieth century, this is Samuel Barber (1910-1981), with his moving and very recognisable “Adagio for Strings”. Nice poem with this video, incidentally.



A beautiful piece of music called “Serenade” by Franz Schubert (1797-1828)



Listening to some of this music, you'd perhaps wonder how much beauty can this world hold? Well, here's one more. Franz Liszt (1811-1886), with one of his most beautiful and famous compositions, “Liebestraum”, or “love dream”.



I hope that you enjoyed this second selection of truly magnificent classical music, and if you feel like checking any of the composers here out further, you can more than likely find most of their music online. Failing that, try any of the classical compilations: most of them have few if any bad tracks.
