Beethoven. 9th Symphony. I could listen to the 9th forever and it would never fail to move and inspire me. Much like the albums of Autechre, I get the most out of the works that I put the most time into. For example, my local symphony orchestra was set to perform Beethoven's 8th Symphony, so in preperation I spent a month listening to Weller's recording of it. Very few artists have created music that gets better and better the more I listen to it. |

I don't know if he would be considered a classical composer of music but I really like elliot goldenthal's work on pet sematary, and others such as alien 3 |

|

are we talking about classical, as in Mozart era, or classical, as a generic term for academic music? |

I like Bach a whole lot.. tough to pin down specific pieces because I love his counterpoint prowess in general. My favorite is prolly 'Sleepers, Wake!' though.. I think that's what it's called. There is an interesting version of it on Switched On Bach as well, but it's best on pipe organ. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
JS BACH - Brandenburg Concerto i also love Mozart's opera's (ALL OF THEM) and Beethovens - Moonlight Sonata played by Vladimir Horowitz.....it's like nothing else *chills me to the bone* |
||||||||
|

I wish some classically trained guys had a stab at IDM. That would be interesting... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dimitri Shostakovich - Quartet No. 8 it gives me the shivers. and the fact that bits of it were nicked for a roald dahl talking book of the minpins makes it even better...so many early childhood memories... |

George Formby - When I'm Cleaning Windows |

I'm classically trained and I take the occassional stab at 'IDM'. |
||||||||

its funny how lots of pop songs are just like pachelbel´s canon |
||||||||
|
|

|

no it's not ! It's disgusting ! |

marlowe...where can I hear your music? See, I admire people like Afx and so on, but their obvious lack of classical training bothers me sometimes (like, the clubsy chord changes, sometimes crappy/predictable melodies) |
||||||||
|

spiritualized has used it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

and when I said it was funny I didnt mean I liked it... I also find it a music crime |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
try the internet for my music ! the paul f savage orchestra I try to put in my classical training, but it may not be that noticeable since it's applied to electronic music and not strings 'n' woodwind |

Ligeti - Lux Aeterna |

Ludwig Van's 9th of course |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Gustav Holst... most notable "The Planets" series by Gustav Holst. yea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeah, Ive been wanting to get Switched On Bach for a while, just to hear what Bach sounds like on a Moog - i'm sure it's amazing, but i can't find it anywhere. But you really can't go wrong with Bach! :-D However, the greatest opera composer of all time, in my opinion at least is the almighty Giuseppi Verdi. And to quote Will Farrell as James Lipton (speaking to mr. verdi) - "I believe I am correct in my assumption that you sir make Gandhi look like a child pornographer." |

I like Schoenberg too.. but mainly for his theories and complex pieces.. I can only listen to it for so long.. although most people I know write it off immediately. kind of a shame. Reich also kicks arse.. I have only two CDs at the moment though. My favorite piece by Reich so far is Electric Counterpoint w/ Pat Metheny playing. Interesting how the Orb sampled that in two different places.. they do it in an obscure Peel Session version of OOBE too. Anyway.. Reich rocks, err.. composes :*) |

is great. I first heard it on an old scratchy vinyl my parents had from the seventies. A bit gimmicky, but surprisingly innovative too. And the cover art is great. The synthesizer suits Bach well somehow, in a way it wouldn't work with Mozart or Beethoven. Prolly because the synthesizer resembles the organ in playing style, etc... anyway. I'd recommend it. try the link to find it.. |

you can get it from amazon.com. even secondhand for 6 dollars. |

heh, funny this thread pops up - saw adelaide symphony orchestra do a reasonably big show (for adelaide, at least) last night. the orchestra theirselves were absolutely fucking brilliant; sounded awesome, playing was perfect and precise, as you'd expect. thing is adelaide's on this 'it' buzz at the moment where anything goverment-related is trying to outsource video/audio production companies to come up with new 'rad cool' ideas. problem is, half these companies appear to have no idea /at all/ what they're doing. they had video running - not only was it completely unrelevant to the music, completely out of sync, and just generally crappily produced, but it completely distracted from the music. visual stimulation is meant to enhance the audio - not completely distract you from it. grumble. i mean, classic thing that absolutely fucking shits me - one song had winamp visualisations on a huge screen behind the orchestra. okay, fair enough, but it was evidently prerecorded - it had absolutely no relevance to the actual music being played. how freaking hard is it to run a linein to a computer doing it live? sheeit. (i see this happen at a lot of 'raves' lately too... i mean, seriously, its not hard to make it actually sync LIVE with the audio. ack.) enjoyable night in any case, just could slap half these 'video producers' upside the face. then again, guess i'm too picky and whingy. i immensly enjoy decent production, though. |

REICCCHHHHH :p~ Steve Reich is god |

easily Holst: The Planets just under that is Ravel: Bolero & Daphnis and Chloe, Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue & Porgy and Bess, and Satie: 1+3 Gymnopedies (Debussey orchestrations) honorable mention to John Adams and Aaron Copland. |

I don't really have favourite composers so much as favourite works though I think that the composer I like most consistently would be Purcell. I like choral stuff more than orchestral, so that's Tallis (yes, I've mentioned him before a number of times) and Lassus. Fauré's Requiem is always a big hit with me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Igor Stravinsky's 'Le Sacre du Printemps' and Anton Dvorak's 9th Symphony (New World Symphony). |
