Any classical music buffs on here? – looking for beautiful piano/cello/ quartet music from any era.
I , erm, like Chopin, Debussy, bits of Mahler – looking to put together a great play list to drown out the noise of London roads.

Olivier Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeSVu1zbF94
Might not be the kind of thing you're looking for, it's eerily beautiful rather than just 'pretty', I just love this guy's work.
exactly the right sort of thing. Thank you x
I'm one of those no-goodnik dilettantes who usually only hears about classical music
when it's carried on some kind of cool record label for the most part so apologies in advance but Erased Tapes are putting out an EP by a composer called Michael Price which is really lovely:

Here are some 20th century ones:
Ravel - String Quartet
Thomas Ades - Piano Quintet
Stockhausen - Tierkreis (there's a lovely cello and piano arrangement, amongst many others)
Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire
Oliver Knussen - Ophelia Dances (slightly larger ensemble than 4tet but lovely all the same)
Britten - Phantasy Quartet
Arvo Part - Fratres
These are good...
