19:27 - try to get a CD that has the 2nd concerto as well - I actually prefer it to the 3rd.
Barber's Adagio for Strings is wonderful. Mozart's Laudate Dominum (I have it on a CD with his Requiem, which is also wonderful.) The "Nimrod" movement of Elgar's Enigma Variations. Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, as played by Jacqueline du Pre The main aria from i Pagliacci (by Leoncavallo) This is a long-time obscure favorite: a choral prelude from Bach's Christ lag en Todesbanden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqwgeKOgezg I like dark music.
