I LOVE Mozart Symphony #40! My daughter played this with Detroit Metropolitan Youth Symphony some years ago and it is still a favorite memory. It was amazing to hear young musicians play this so well! Thanks for playing it. It made my day!

WorkerB

Greetings from New England! Peter played today (7-Feb-2023) Seigfried’s Funeral March. For me, the film connection with this music will always be the death of King Arthur in 1981’s Excalibur. (Which also introduced me to O Fortuna! Great memories.)

WorkerB

February 13, 202318:29:02

Thank you for listening from New England! Yes there was some good music in that film.
