Description
A Classical Wedding brings together ten of the most enduring and beloved pieces from the Western classical tradition, curated specifically for the ceremony and celebration. The disc opens with Wagner’s majestic Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin and closes with the breathtaking momentum of Widor’s Toccata from Symphony No. 5 — two of the most iconic processional and recessional pieces ever written. In between, listeners are treated to deeply expressive works such as Bach’s radiant Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Liszt’s tender Liebestraum No. 3 in A flat, and Franck’s soaring Panis Angelicus. This CD makes an ideal keepsake or gift for anyone who cherishes the classical music at the heart of wedding tradition…
