Exceeded Harmony Mix #1

Good friend and blogger-extraordinaire Allie has been posting amazing mixes of her favorite music, which everyone should check out, she has impeccable taste. She has put the idea into my mind of a classical themed mix, which I thought was a great idea. We'll see what happens in the future, it might evolve into a mix of any music I'm loving at the moment, not just classical.

So without further ado, the first Exceeded Harmony mix. I toyed with the idea of including whole works, instead of just movements I liked, but this is more personal. Shows you better what it is I love of certain works..
