Hmm, how can you call some of those songs? They've got no singing in them!!
Personally, I've not really got a favourite, (really depends what mood I'm in). There are numerous pieces I really enjoy listening to and performing (I play the cello in several different orchestras)...

Choral....

Faure requiem
Elgar - Dream of Gerontius
Puccini - La Boheme

Orchestral (too many to mention really but a few pieces stand out)....

Vaughan Williams - Any of the symphonies
Stravinsky - Firebird / Rite of Spring
Miaskovsky cello concerto
Practically anything by Rachmaninov

Things I hate.....

All of the Beethoven symphonies
Anything by Karl Jenkins or that other bloke they play on Classic FM (einaudi or something like that).

I enjoy omething simple like Purcell's Three Parts on a Ground - if you like Pachelbel's Canon, this is similar but better!

Basically anything with Andrew Manze playing baroque violin (Harmonia Mundi label) - his improvisation in slow movements of Bach concertos is just stunning, and the Biber Sonatas are like nothing I've heard.

Never met/worked with anyone else who combines his level of natural instrumental ability with encycopedic academic knowledge and is still a decent bloke!
