And why?

The Chaconne from Bach's Partita No. 2 in D Minor. This, in my opinion, is THE greatest work in the repertory for solo violin. It is amazing how Bach could write music of such contrapuntal texture for the homophonic violin. I used to think that the violin is inferior to the piano because it can not stand by itself until I heard this. The music is largely intellectual in nature, but it is still exciting because it has vigour, energy, fire, and passion (albeit a restrained one). This work, or the entire set of Bach's 6 Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin for that matter, is God's gift to violinists all over the world. Here is hoping (or, given the technical demands of the work, dreaming) that I can play them one day.

Sibelius' Finlandia. It is so grand and majestic. This was the first piece I played (violin) with a symphony orchestra, and to hear the music come alive all around me was breathtaking. If you've never heard it, you should. Sielius was a wonderful composer, and one that many music lovers know little about.

Ravel's "Bolero" which was used in the soundtrack for the movie 10 . The same movie that effectively introduced Bo Derek to film fans and starred Dudley Moore.

I don't usually listen to classical, I think its boring and impersonal. Maybe I haven't heard the good stuff.
But, I do like Rhapsody in Blue, it's got humor to it.

I would have to go with Ravels~Bolero.
The songs progression from mellow to heavy is mind blowing.
