Max Richter: Tarantino's ultraviolence really bugs me
Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms is a masterpiece. When I was a kid I was into punk and Bowie. Starman and Oh! You Pretty Things were the national anthems of my teenage years. I love Purcell, especially the Fantasias for the Viols. They are incredible. And more recently Acts of Faith by Sault is an amazing record.
Mahler Nine was my emotional support symphony when I was a teenager. The first bit of Endymion by Keats is fantastic. That's a good medicine poem because it talks about how beauty can lift you up.
Anything from Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. The famous line is, 'You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows' but the whole song is incredible.
