Grieg: Morning Song and Piano Concerto in A Minor

Satie: Trois Gymnopedies (esp. no. 1)

Henry Mancini: Love story (this isn't really classical
because it is of this century, but still good)

Yours?

Sone of the best Piano Music I've heard in a long time.

I'm still loving Rachmaninov - Concerto No. 3 though.

anyone ever heard tippett's 'child of our time'?? more
choral than orchestral, but one of the best modern scores i
think!

Bartok's great, but i'm having 'issues' with all the
hommages around.

btw peer gint by grieg is one of my favs too

we have some similar tastes I think in this classical thing

steve reich - music for large ensemble; eight lines;
tehillim; electric counterpoint; music for mallet
instruments, voices and organ; six marimbas; music for 18
musicians, drumming

wendy carlos didn't compose anything on the switched on
bach, switched on brandenburgs, etc albums, but the
recordings and performances are well worth hearing.

philip glass - string quartet no. 5

js bach - too much to list, but some favorite sections:
solo violin partita #3, gavotte en rondeau; concerto for 3
violins in DM, allegro;

ok, this could go on too long. i have to give up and just
give some recommendations of things that you may not have
heard:

some baroque harpsichord pieces that are really great:
couperin - les baricades misterieuses

handel- the harmonious blacksmith (ok everyone's heard
this)

js bach - duetto III in GM (bwv 804)

has anyone here heard any renaissance choral music? the
stuff that evolved from the gregorian chant? (note that i'm
not talking about the gregorian chant itself). if you
haven't heard it, and are interested in classical music,
check out:

dum transisset sabbatum by john taverner

spem in alium by thomas tallis

magnificat anima mea dominum by manuel cardoso

miserere by gregorio allegri (this was sampled on the first
orb album)

salve regina by orlando di lasso

the choirs are small and intimate (maybe 5 singers) and the
music is simple but incredibly powerful and emotional, for
what it's worth highly recommended. this is where the
western formal music tradition gathered its momentum and
blossomed, don't miss it!

Sibelius: Symphony 3
Strauss: Metamorphosen
Wagner: Overture zu Tannhauser
Saint Saens: Dance Macabre

Vivaldi: 4 seasons: Summer
Händel: the Arrival of the queen of Sheba
Schubert: Stringquartet "Der tot und das Madchen"(hope
spelling is correct)
Palestrina: Stabat Mater

......and I still have a lot to listen/discover by these
composers and other composers(lots of Haydn, Brahms, Liszt
and Scarlatti in particular)

I'm just starting to get into classical music, some of my
faves at the mo are:

Mozart - Requiem

Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake

Does anyone know of any classical works that are dark and
scary? The sort of music that might be used in a horror
movie to create tension.

Rachmaninoff - Symphonic works (my FAVORITE symphony piece)
Beethoven - Emperor Concerto
Beethoven - Symphony #7 movement 2
Beethoven - Symphony #9
Dvorak - New World Symphony
Debussey - Claire D'Lune
Ravel - Pavane For a Dead Princess
Mozart - The Marrige of Figaro
Mendlesson - Violin Concerto
Chopin - Piano concertos 1 + 2

Bartok, Briton, Schumann, Shostakovich, Bach, Gershwin,

"Does anyone know of any classical works that are dark and
scary?"

Berlioz: Requiem --> Tuba Mirum (sounds as if the earth is
being torn open)

Shostakovich: symphony 8
This one has a very famous movement which sounds like a huge
battle and where everyone is being slaughtered (enjoy! :) )

Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D minor
This very famous creepy piece probably wasn't written by
Bach.
