I have performed this piece a number of times, but never in a parking garage. Now, I really want to. It might as well be an outdoor concrete cathedral.

Here is a popular choral warhorse, in a stunning new performance. Oh, those sopranos! (The rest of the choir are no slouches, either.)

This may not be the most popular of Mozart's symphonies, but it's always been one of my favorites. This performance really nails the energy just right, in my opinion.

Here's some badass legitimately scary and violent music. I always play this for my students when I want to freak them out. It's a good thing they don't speak German though, otherwise I'd never get away with it...
