please recommend me some classical music (/composers) that is serious/melancholic/"heavy" , not the kind with happy melodies and quick violins and stuff barber's adagio for strings is what i like for example, or beethoven's 7th sympony, the allegretto part any recommendations are welcome, thanks in advance |

not sure if it's heavy but Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra Richard Wagner's Faust Overture is very good, as is O Fortuna (from the opera Carmina Burana) by Carl Orff and Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring Oh and the Theme from Schindler's List by John Williams is a masterpiece. Very melancholic and contemplative. |

Somebody here recommended "Vespers" by Rachmaninov, I want to finally thank that person. Morton, if you accept choral works, then this is what you should check out first. |

Valentin Silvestrov- Requiem for Larissa- best classical work I've ever heard, inky black ode to his recently deaded wife and makes other ''requiems'' feel like bouncy jigs Alfred Schnittke- Three Concertos- sounds like the Bartok/Ligeti/Penderecki stuff from the Shining, but this is by far my favorite music of that kind... very dark and kind of twisted Sven David Sandstrom- A Cradle Song/The Tyger- beautiful choral work, and kind of oppressive |

I knew what the tune was but I'd never known who it was by or what it was called and I checked out what you said on Amazon, heard a clip and it's good to finally put a name to a song. Cheers. |

Bach i guess, the other day i overheard some Vivaldi that sounded ace, dunno what it was, definately not "4 seasons".a lot of people think Mozart's the AFX of classical (it's a joke, idiot) and Beethoven just cause he was deaf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Vivaldi was a genious, he was the first to mass produce his music. He made music accesible to the masses. |

is some nice classical stuff to start with. |

Chopin's ballades, nocturnes, waltzes and mazurkas Satie's gymnopedies and gnossiennes Various stuff by Debussy esp. Claire de Lune Bach's preludes and the aria from the goldberg variations Not a big fan of orchestral myself :D |

I like Béla Bartók (it helps that I am Hungarian) and Stravinsky. Get "The Rite of Spring" by Stravinsky and you won't be dissapointed. |
||||||||
|

Pierre Boulez - "Reponse" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I was actually disappointed in the Rite of Spring believe it or not, the first time I heard it :( it doesn't help that it has this reputation of being epic and controversial simply because people walked out of its first performance and there was a small riot. It's disappointing. Handel's Messiah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find nothing dissapointing about it. People walked out because they weren't used to its dissonance, crashing off-beat rhythms, and primal, raw sound. Today it sounds just plain exciting and it's an easy listen compared to a lot of modern classical music. |
||||||||
|

yeah rachmaninov piano concerto 1!! sibelius tapiola satie, debussy & goldberg variations are all brillant, even if different but they do not fit with "melancolic / heavy" or "la mer" by debussy (Queen borrowed one of its theme for "who wants to live for ever") an advice: go to a big shop & get some naxos records, very cheap & quite decent (mp3 do not really fit with classical) |

I couldn't find the final artist in your files, Jay. |

As I'm in love with Gonzales - Solo Piano record, I'm looking for something similar, simple and athmospheric. Any recomendations? I've listened to some Satie and Chopin but those are too "fancy" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try Tori Amos played at half-speed if Satie is too "fancy" for you. |
