My Favorite Music

Classical

My parents started me off with classical music when I was young. It stays with me and becomes a part of my life. My favorite composers include Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Brahms, Schubert, Rachmaninov, Tschaikovsky, and Verdi. I studied Italian for a year to appreciate Opera more. Andrea Bocelli and Pavorotti are my favorite tenors. Sarah Brightman and Renee Fleming are my favorite sopranos. Click any album covers below for more information.

Nothing beats jazz when it comes to tempo and rhythms. So many styles and tunes of jazz that stand out over the years. From contemporary to fusion, I like them all. My favorite CDs include Fourplay, Yellow Jackets, The Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra, Kenny G, Najee, David Sandborn, Dave Grusin, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nacy Wilson, Al Jarreau, and Natalie Cole.

Big Band

I love the sound of big band. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong are my favorites. My parents grew up with their music before gave way to rock 'n roll.

Broadway Musical

Broadway musical produces many hits and wonderful songs that I appreciate. Rodgers & Hammerstein and Andrew Lloyd Webber are my most favorites. My DVD collections has a few on-stage broadway musicals including Cats, Victor Victoria, Jekyll & Hyde, and Phantom of the Opera by Rosen and Schierhorn. No, they do not have Webber's version on DVD.
