disclaimer: classical music deserves its own thread because it is classical. so, not to try and come across all intellectual/mature and stuff, i nevertheless just felt the need to share that whilst also listening to a heap of intelligent dance music whenever i have a chance, and that's quite often i might add, i ALSO listen to the likes of grieg and rachmaninov when i have other chances, BECAUSE 1) my dad had a spare copy of rachmaninov's: 'trio elegiaque nos. 1 & 2 by st petersburg academy trio' and gave this to me. by this time i have become completely mad about this mindbogglingly fantastic music. 2) i just so happened to borrow the 'grieg - peer gynt - suites 1 & 2 symphonic dances' because i already had some piano stuff mp3s by the man and enjoyed those but this is even better. as a pathetic attempt of apologizing for this thread, i will now ask you this, so as to make it seem i am in desperate need of your classical music knowledge: If i like this stuff so much, what else might i like this much as well? oh and also, do YOU like this stuff too? i really hope so. note: the grieg and rachmaninov stuff is not quite alike, but you already know that. thanks!!! p.s: i am almost drunk p.p.s: this is not an excuse |

Man I've been listening to 80% classical for the last few months, mostly modern. Arvo Part, Alfred Schnittke, Dmitry Shostakovich, Luciano Berio, Gyori Ligeti and Maurice Ravel being the ones that have really rubbed me the right way so far. Obviously I've got a solid boner for 20th century classical stuff. Haven't heard much of Grieg other than the usual, but I'll have to now. So I don't know what you want. But do you know Shostakovich? Chamber Symphony Op 110, Piano Sonata Op 40 and other various hard to list things, these works own me right now. Pretty straightforward too, not atonal or ''radical'' or anything. Nice stuff with a bit of balls. |

nice one ophecks. yes i know Shostakovich but i never know which pieces i've heard so i'll check those out. of the things i mentioned, the first part of that rachmaninov stuff is the most beautiful one of all. i'd be very interested to know what you think of it. if you want i can rip it and share on soulseek. let me know. |

never heard of grieg. i eat up any rachmaninov performed by vladimir horowitz, he was the master (see piano sonata no. 2) my favorite classical right now is probably debussy |

Yeah man, I'd want to get my hands on that. My username on SLSK is revolverjgw, in the nu room. I'm sharing all everything I talked about in this topic. I did Rach Piano Concertos 1-4 from Oink, haven't listened yet. And the Peer Gynt Suites from torrentspy. Gave it a first listen, good first impression, a LOT of recognizable themes and melodies there. Another good one, low key and moody- Olivier Messaien- Quatuor pour la fin du Temps |

any song from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff is majestic |

Arvo Part composes some beautiful, minimal, spiritual music, along with John Tavener. I've also been listening to Shostakovich, Steieve Reich, and Stravinsky (The Rite of Spring, which is one of my favorite works ever, and that firebird thing.) |

Rimsky Korsakov is it at the moment. |

BARTOK will always be it! The Romanian Dances Suite is the best. plus I can play it on the piano. |
||||||||
|

Ah yes, I love Bartok. I like a lot of Hungarian folk music, and Bartok travelled around and used various folk themes in his own music. Brilliant stuff, some of it very bizzare and inventive. |
