The one hundred and thirtieth classical recording: #625 Edward Elgar - Falstaff
Edward Elgar's Falstaff is a richly textured work that combines some big orchestral pieces with smaller phrases that lend it a lot of personality, There's a story and build up in the piece that often comes with operas and other more narrative works is done there through the music and while you need some more familiarity with the work, it still stays accessible as a lovely piece of music.
