I love classical music. It inspires me to great heights, and fuels my imagination for creating new artwork. My favorites are the Russian composers of the Romantic Period. I also admire French composers such as Saint-Saens and Debussy. Andre Rieu is my favorite conductor because he brings so much life and humor to classical music. Some of my favorite classical compositions are listed below:

1)Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini - Rachmanivov

2)Orpheus in Hades - Offenbach

3)Meditation - Massenet

4) Caucasian Sketches -Ivanov

5)Karelia Suite - Sibelius

6)Egyptian March - Strauss

7) Radetsky March-Strauss Sr.

8)Romanian Rhapsody#1 - Enescu

9)La Traviata - Verdi

10)Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saens

Many years ago I spent many of my leisure hours playing the harp. Now I have little time to spend practicing, but the harp remains my favorite instrument.An accomplished harpist that I admire is Nicanor Zabalata.

More to come!
