This should cheer anybody up - the divine Jeanne Moreau sings this song, for no particular reason, in the film Jules et Jim. Someone chose it on Private Passions once.

Lovely song, such a sexy delivery

Just for today, you understand ...

Perhaps perhaps perhaps......just a great song.

Chopin's op 53 Polonaise Heroique

Those two would cheer me up.

Edit .....and Pastoralguy has made me think......the Pastoral sonata would do the trick most times !!

[pastoralguy]

1) Dvorak 'Carnival' Overture.

2) Beethoven 'Pastoral' symphony ()

[Extended Play]

Salymap, your selection of Hary Janos prompts me to suggest:

Dohnanyi: Sextet for piano, violin, viola, cello, clarinet and horn.

A work, IMHO, that has its moments of real substance -- then comes that "naughty but nice" finale!
