[Damião de Góis]

I think my all time favourites are:

Pachelbel - Canon in D Major (this one is also the best version of it on youtube imo)


Debussy - Claire de lune


Vivaldi - Winter (again same channel as the first one)


I like a lot more from Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Boccherini, Seixas, Corelli etc but these three stand out for me.
