Of the many genres in which Chloe sings, I most enjoy her classical performances. The style of the music perfectly suits her voice and best brings out its full beauty.

But I was wondering which of Chloe's classical songs everyone else likes best?

For me, the choice is easy: "Panis Angelicus," and specifically the performance from Slane Castle. However, "Vivaldi's 'Rain'" has great appeal thanks to the fact that it has such a lovely video. And the original upload of Chloe's "Ave Maria" on YouTube has been viewed a staggering four million times (although I've linked to a slightly different upload). "Brahms's Lullaby" is magical, and I prefer "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" as a Chloe solo to the version with the whole CW group.

If case you don't recall them, here are Chloe's classical songs. I found links to each of them on YouTube except for Handel's "Lascia ch'io Pianga," which appears on her first solo CD.

I picked Vivaldi, if only because of that video. Also, I REALLY wish I could have seen it live, I think I would have died.
Nella Fantasia isn't a classical song, is it?

The distinctions can get a bit arbitrary, but I kept it to music composed by recognized classical composers.

Webber's "Pie Jesu" is borderline since it's contemporary, but it is a recognized classical form and setting of a traditional classical work (a requiem mass):
