Faure - Pavane
Gluck - Dance of the Blessed Spirits Grieg - Morning Khatchaturian - Masquerade And one more I can't remember; it starts with an M (missa solemne?) and has haunting high choral voices... now it'll keep me awake, trying to remember... I had to ask my son - it's Allegri's Miserere. You can hear it on YouTube To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. . It eerie and beautiful at the same time. Maybe even epic...

Mozart's Fantasia in D minor K397 is a very expressive work from him... never really expected what I felt when I first listened.
Also agree with those who mentioned Rachmaninoff's piano concerti and Borodin's Polovtsian Dances (With Chorus) from Prince Igor~ I primarily listen to classical music, though, so I could listen so many. |

Wow! That was impressive! One of my favorites is a pianist named Vitalij - but I checked, and it's Vitalij Margulis. Two great Chopin pianists named Vitalij - what are the odds? And this guy was a keyboardist for a metal band? |

I'm mostly a Bach and Vivaldi fan. Other baroque composers are cool too.

I could go on and on here. For now:
12th century: Perotin - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. , this is significant also as it formed the inspiration for the minimalist style of P. Glass. Mozart K280, I include the second movement: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Shubert D959, composed near the end of his life, which if you know his story, explains a lot. This is the second movement and it really is a sin to except, especially here but if you start with the first movement you might not persevere: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Nor shall we omit the 20th century. The 8th Str. Quartet by Shostakovich (most likely INTJ btw) is quite the allegory for all the terrible things happening under Soviet rule and during WWII. In the third movement you can here the bombers ascent and the release of their cargo and the screams below. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. and in the forth movement you hear the famous knock, the one you get at midnight when the KGB comes around To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Shosty almost committed suicide after composing this fearing the retribution of the Soviet authorities. Indeed they were intent on it but the deal got bungled in the Soviet bureaucracy. But not to end on too sour a note, some light from the 20th too: Sibelius violin concerto (2nd movement): To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater.

WTF happened to the old thread??? THat thread was great.
I love Bach and Beethoven the most so far but all those old stalwarts have pieces worth listening to. Tchaikovky, Wagner, Rossini, Mozart, etc. It's incredible how something so simple at the basic level like Ride of the Valkyries is actually so complex and grand and spacious. Here's a pretty cool list of "best songs" (lol). Anyway it's a good map for the mainstream stuff and you can even preview each song. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. On a related note I found a couple good keyboard tutorials for Fur Elise so I'm trying to learn it. I can play the first part pretty well so far but maybe only 75% speed. |

Do you enjoy opera? I was listening to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's rendition of Der Erlkönig the other day and it blew me away all over again. As for full length operas, Mozart's Zauberflöte is still one of my favourites.

Yeah it's just a list. I thought it was cool though when I first found it as I could sample the song then if I liked it do a deeper search for it. I thought I only knew like 10 songs but I think I recognized 65 on that list when I first saw it. I also like that it lists the year each song came out and the composer. You can sort by year and sort of proceed through the list in order to get a sense of what came first.
The most recent thing that cracked that list was Palladio in 1996 which was actually used in the old To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. from 1993. lol |

Depends on what you mean by "classical" --- I find a lot of good more "recent" classical music among film composers. So, some I like:
- Ennio Morricone (Cinema Paradiso, Untouchables, spaghetti westerns, The Mission) - Tan Dun (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) - Gustavo Santalloloa (?sp) (Brokeback Mountain, The Motorcycle Diaries, Babel, etc.) - John Barry (Out of Africa, Dances with Wolves, lots of James Bond films) - Maurice Jarre (Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, lots more) - James Newton Howard (lots of films; check out The Village soundtrack) - Max Richter (Shutter Island, Waltz with Bashir) - John Williams (Star Wars, a lot of Spielberg films, lots more) - Bernard Hermann (Psycho, other Hitchcock films) - Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, lots more) Hopefully, no one looks down on film composers -- many are classically trained and Morricone for one was a music prodigy. |

I love film scores, and they are certainly "classical music". My only gripe with them is that many film scores are usually very simplistic, musically. After listening to the likes of Mahler, Shostakovish and Stravinsky, it's hard for me to "revert" back to simpler orchestral music withint feeling bored. For example, the Inception score is exceptional as a film score. It made the movie a lot better. But as an independent orchestral suite? That wouldn't work at all. It wasn't until I watched the movie that I was able to appreciate the score. That said, a lot of the ones you mentioned are good, and I listen to them a lot. |
