Mrs. E. is firmly convinced that classical music should begin and end with Debussy. Satie is another house favourite. And of course, the canon. Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations (Bach) is phenomenal. Gade's Jalousie is a ball and will summon up your inner Morticia Addams. Duet for Cello and Bass by Rossini, too. Gershwin and Bernstein make the cut as does Copeland.

It's a nice backdrop for them to do their thing, for me to drink my coffee, and for all of us to ease into the day. I have a random sampling of CDs imported into itunes, or sometimes I plug in Pandora. Any chance you might recommend some favorites for such listening pleasure? My kids and I thank you.
