Favourite classical pieces.

[Palingenisis]

Lately Ive been listening to a lot of a Black metal, hardcore, industrial and noise but I want to make an effort to get back into listening to more uplifting and subtle music. So this thread is to encourage in my New Year's resolution. :)

El Amor Brujo by Manuel De Falla

When looking for pure music, I enjoy Italian opera... specifically that sung by Pavarotti

[Apoi_Viitor]

Uplifting and subtle.

Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 in E flat major "Eroica" (1st Movement, Allegro con brio)



Thanks for that...I had forgotten how much I love that entire Symphony. :wub:

[Vanguard1917]

A great rendition of some Mendelssohn (music starts at about a minute in).

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A (if there were a heaven, this is what would be playing):

And Bruch's Violin Concerto:

Although the best version is by the late great Jascha Heifetz

Modern classics? Check out the CD, Divenire, by Ludovico Einaudi. Here's one track (Primavera):

CB4fO-f33K0

It's used on TV a lot.

Watch it full screen with the volume turned up.:)

[psgchisolm]

Bolero Ravel
Toccata and Fugue in Dminor trombone quartet
Look up Christin Lindberg he's an amazing classical trombone soloist

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

And this Lexus TV ad uses another track (Divenire itself), which is probably the best TV car ad ever:

FbyCOjjzW8U

Make sure you watch it full screen.

By the way, the film was shot in New Zealand.

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

And, of course, there's always Michael Nyman:

[mattb62]

Any Mozart, especially the Symphony in G Minor. I love Bruno Walter conducting Mozart.

[Lobotomy]

No one can ever be greater than Chopin imo...

A beautiful scene from a somewhat twisted film:

[Sentinel]

Always and forever this, all of it. There is a reason it's so famous; it's the greatest piece of ever music made.

I would reccommend the following, taking the actual compositions as only an introduction to the composers:

Erik Satie - Poudre d'Or
Scriabin - Sonata No.1
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky - La Grande Porte de Kiev
Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
Alexander Fyodorovich Goedicke -Ouverture dramatique pour Grand Orchestre Op. 7

There are many more, but these, and the others in this thread will get you started.

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

Again, if there is a 'god', then along with the Mozart Clarinet Concerto I posted earlier, these are definitely on her i-pod:

Pachelbel:

The Marriage of Figoro, Mozart:

The latter appeared in The Shawshank Redemption.

When I first got a car of my own, and I went to take it out for a spin, I went down the street feeling like a god. Then I turned on the radio for the first time, it was set to NPR.

Flight of the Valkyries was playing, at pretty much the most epic moment.
