Anybody like classical music?

[$lim_$weezy]

Hasn't been a classical thread in quite a while, from what I can see.

I've really been getting into some classical music lately, not necessarily of the classical period.

my favorites:
Sibelius's 2nd symphony
Brahms's 1st symphony
Strauss's "An Alpine Symphony"
Saint-Saen's "Organ Symphony"

These are, in my opinion, the best of the best. Anyone have any favorites or recommendations? I know there has to be some of you out there that like classical...

[Die Neue Zeit]

A lot of classical music developed for the more epic movies is great.

[Apoi_Viitor]

Let's see. My favorites composers are probably Shostakovitch, Ligeti, Stravinsky, and Debussy.

Also, you might want to check out the darkwave/neo-classical band Elend.

I love classical music. I don't listen to it enough, but I particularly enjoy Bach. I guess that is baroque period, but I think classical has become a more encompassing term to describe baroque, classical, and romantic era music.. I would like to start listening to some of the less known composers though.

Also, fuck Mozart.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

Also, fuck Mozart.

Salieri? Is this you?

Also, why the fuck has no one mentioned Mussorgsky yet?

[Void]

I'm bored of other kinds of music easily but I can listen to classical music forever.

Lists of your favourite classical music compositions are appreciated

Those old cartoons I used to watch made me love classical I guess. Now the cartoons are empty.

Here's requiem of brahms:

[$lim_$weezy]

Oh fuck yeah I love Pictures at an Exhibition.

Also, since I heard "Night on Bald Mountain" in that Disney movie "Fantasia" I've liked it a lot. Thinking back on it, that was a really good movie...

[brigadista]

de falla :)

[ZeroNowhere]

Salieri? Is this you?Their affection for Bach makes them sound a bit more like Glenn Gould. That's always a good thing to sound like, on the piano and otherwise.

[Nox]

Tchaikovsky

/thread

[$lim_$weezy]

Slightly different from what's been talked about previously, but does anyone here like Gorecki's 3rd? The "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"? The second movement especially is just so incredibly... sorrowful...

Also, never really got that much into Tchaikovsky, Mozart, or Beethoven. I like Mozart's "Requiem" every now and then, but other than that...

[Reed]

Some favourites of mine:
Beethoven - Piano Sonata #14 In C Sharp Minor, Op. 27/2, "Moonlight" - Adagio Sostenuto
Albinoni - Adagio in G Minor
Paolo Bounvino - Mattanza (Romanzo Criminale)

Opera:
Ruggero Leoncavallo - Pagliacci - Vesti La Giubba
Giacomo Puccini - Turandot - Nessun dorma

As an aside, you can stream Classical102 through most media players, the links for which are on their website. I've discovered a few gems while listening when surfing the net.

[eyeheartlenin]

"The Great Gate of Kiev," by Mussorgsky, I think (about whom there was a movie made when the USSR still existed. I remember seeing it when I was a student.)
Bizet's Te Deum
Haydn's Missa in Tempore Belli (Paukenmesse)
Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite
Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor
the Pachelbel Canon

are all very nice, I think.

[Winkers Fons]

I just downloaded the soundtrack to the Stanley Kubrick film Barry Lyndon. It's full of nice classical and traditional music.

[Spets]

I enjoy Avro Part and Shostakovich the most, but sadly I haven't had a classical obsession in a while.

[Susurrus]

Speaking of Salieri, I like his Overture in D Major.

Also Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and many, many soundtracks.

This is the shit.

[Gustav HK]

Mozarts requiem, and Beethovens 5. and 9. symphonies (at least the "an die Freude" part).

[Boothe]

Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Strauss II are my two personal favorite classical composers.

[Ose]

Baroque organ music is my thing. For your enjoyment:

[dschbach]

Yeah, I can't get enough of it! I've uploaded over 1100 videos of classical to youtube, lagrley of Soviet orchestras, Soviet composers, Soviet performers etc. Of late, however, i've really, really gotten into the English symphonic tradition of the last century - it really strikes me just how it took a completely different trajectory to the way the form developed on the continent, which largely followed on from the 2nd Viennese School and from Hindemith in the very least, whereas in England it seemed to follow directly from Brahms, Mahler and Delius. Of course, there are plenty of examples in Rubbra, Bax, Arnold and so on where twelve tone is employed - it just doesn't sound as such and really puts to bed the myth that twelve tone music is horrible!

Rozhdestvensky is the finest conductor I know of, blows everyone else out of the water.

Yeah, I love it a lot....btw, my username on youtube is "pastrychef1985", you'll find a lot of Langgaard up there too, plus many complete cycles of symphonies, including Sibelius, MYASKOVSKY(!!!), Mahler (nearly), Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Bax and a couple more.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Gotta say that I enjoy my share of Beethoven.

:)

[Roach]

More Bach, that is all you need. I think BWV 565 and Air are his most famous compositions.

Right, I just uploaded a superb symphony you my youtube channel: George Lloyd's 7th.

playlist?list=PL8F5BAE129E5EA523 That's the playlist

Superb music.

[ColonelCossack]

Who doesn't think tocatta in D minor's epic?

[dschbach]

It's alright, but not a patch on his Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor (BWV 582) - now THAT is epic music.

[Sumguyudunoh]

Anyone listen to Paganini, Ravel or Chopin? Also, what about neo-classic music like Malmsteen (w/ orchestra) or the album "Perspective" by Jason Becker?

[RedAnarchist]

A lot of classical music developed for the more epic movies is great.

I have a lot of that kind of music, it's perfect for daydreaming, which is something I do a lot when listening to music.

[Leonid Brozhnev]

Gustav Holst is one of my favourite composers, I fucking love 'Mars, the bringer of war'. I listen to ClassicFM in the car if I don't have my own music with me, current pop music pisses me off, it always has.

[Chambered Word]

Phillip Glass is great, listened to him when I was about 5 and still like his stuff. Other than that Wagner, Orff and Tchaikovsky. Sciabin's Sonata No. 9 is pretty good. I don't listen to as much classical as I should.

I love the music for the Halo series as well.

[Rusty Shackleford]

only when violence is involved

The top comment on youtube:


Read Marx's Communist Manifesto and Aristotle's Ethica and you'll understand what Tyler means. Happiness is the end of all means. Capitalism is trying to make you buy your freedom. Happiness is a state of mind but if Capitalism makes you believe your happiness lies in something you buy, you will always be buying shit. You will only go to school to get a degree to make more money, to buy more shit that makes you "free". NOT TO BE WISE.

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS YOUTUBE?

[Leo]

Rachmaninoff.

[Olentzero]

Early music REPRESENT! I loves me some long-forgotten stuff like Perotin's Viderunt Omnes or a good dance tune from Playford's Dancing Master.

[manic expression]

Debussy is awesome. Dvorak is great too.

[Red Economist]

Beethoven. preferably loud... :D

[Sixiang]

I love classical music. I listen to it more than more current pop/rock music. My favorite composers are Beethoven, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, and Dmitri Shostakovich. My favorite pianists/performers are Yuja Wang (in my opinion the most talented pianist on the scene today), Yuji Takahashi, and the illustrious Yo-Yo Ma.

[Le Rouge]

The pathetique sonata is a pure wonder.
