Okay, it's Sunday night, the lights are low

Now, on Desert Island Discs'R'us...........

Which song or LP/CD would you have if you were lonely and alone?

Personally, I'm going for Stanford's 5th Symphony with the glorious organ finale. And wonderful Andante.

I have loved David Lanz's music since I first saw the video called Natural States. I used to work for a doctor who had satalite clinics in other states and he had a private jet to fly to his clinics and we would take off as the sun was rising and I would listen to his music from the soundtrack.
He also has an album called Christofori's Dream which I highly recommend.
Listen to this after watching this beautiful video and the music with your eyes closed.
There are more of his musical videos on this site.
Enjoy
