    Is there a better classical piece than this, if you don't actually like classical music?

    I've watched this a few times on YouTube and l nearly bought tickets on the strength of it. By the way - l spent the 90s in Ibiza off mi box as the kids say, so my missus thinks I've cracked up with this stuff.

    Mrs Organ Morgan (at table, talking to her husband about Polly Garter):
    "Remember Bob Spit? He wasn't any bigger than a baby and he gave her
    two! But they're two nice boys, I will say that, Fred Spit and Arthur.
    Sometimes I like Fred best and sometimes I like Arthur. Who do you like
    best Organ?"
    Organ Morgan:
    "Hm? Oh, Bach without any doubt. Bach every time for me..."

    I'm more a fan of rock/metal music but one of my favourite bands play a clip of that before they come on/as their reveal if that counts for anything at all.

    The Simon barber piece was played by the New York philharmonic shortly after 9/11. There's a YouTube video which is very moving as it cuts in with scenes of 9/11.

    Elgar cello concerto is also a favourite. I also love nimrod

    Planet suite- Venus and Jupiter as well
