A longer list of my favourites

This is where I put titles which are not making it (are no longer) in my top-10 of favourites.

Classical music

  1. The Deutsch Mark Is Coming, Tiersen.
    This was replaced by Mad Rush.

As a representative of minimalism, I was initially thinking of Tiersen with a piece such as La Maison or La Démarche. I finally settled for The Deutsch Mark Is Coming (from Good Bye, Lenin!) until I had the courage to choose one favourite among the real master of the genre, Philip Glass. More about this choice can be read in my blog.

Popular music

  1. Garota de Ipanema, Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes
    (no excerpt yet but see here or here)
    This was replaced by Cálice, from Chico Buarque.

I wanted a Bossa Nova in my list, reflecting my love for the Brazilian language (not Portuguese but how it is pronounced on a continent where it found enough space to sing and resonate). There are many enchanting songs and Garota de Ipanema is surely their best representative. The song is even good when sung in English. But it's only with the Brazilian expression that it becomes alive.

The composition from Buarque does not fall in this category, but appeared to me superior in all aspects as the symbol for how Brazilian music speaks to me.
