Hi Andy,

Try these.

the best version of the Ravel, I've heard

The Piano Sonata at the end is also fantastic

Michelangeli again! The man was a genius

The best Pachelbel Canon I know is an old one on Erato by Jean-François Paillard:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000005EDJ/104-5122092-8975947?v=glance&n=5174

It also includes a fabulous rendering of a Fasch trumpet concerto by The Mighty Maurice.

Currently doing the rounds, Pachelbel's Canon like you've never heard it before:

For an alternative try the chamber version by London Baroque, recently re-issued at bargain price on Harmonia Mundi (rest of the disc is vv good too).

Or, ever-so slightly off the wall: Discreet Music by Eno, half of which is a, errr, deconstruction/re-interpretation of Pachelbel's Canon in D, aided & abetted by Gavin Bryars.

While we're here.... what is this music? Its some kind of Baroque funeral march, possibly Purcell or Handel, gets used a lot on TV, was used a couple of years ago in a Levi's Jeans advert that had a man and a woman running through walls.... was also use in a bit of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon.

Any ideas (and a recording recommendation to please)?

http://70s.fast-rewind.com/barrylyndon.htm has a list of choons on the soundtrack: I'm not sure which one you mean.

Boxer (thank god for Google)

If it's the Sarabande from one of Handel's keyboard suites that you are talking about, (from the Barry Lyndon sountrack) then it depends on whether you would like a recording on the piano or harpsichord. Richter/Gavrilov on a pair of EMI Fortes is easily available. A harpsichord version doesn't come to mind at the moment.

It would appear that the theme is pretty similar to a famous tune called La Folia. If this is what you are after, there are a plethora of arrangements...

Could try Hyperion CDA67035 for the baroque versions if that is what you are after. Look for it on the Hyperion website, there is real audio sample online.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help folks.

I knew I had it somewhere.... its in the selection from La Folia I have on a Linn Disc of Rebel and Marais Suites played the Palladian Ensemble.

Searching around I've found MP3s of all kinds of variations on the tune, most of them 'with a beat'. Hmmm.... no gilding of lillies required I think. However, the string arrangement used in the Levi's advert was very effective.
