Classical Music

[Turbonegro]

I dont know where this belongs :( Well... Ive been listening to sleaze rock, extreme metal and experimental music and i want to listen to more stuff... classical. But i dont know where to start. The only song which is slightly classic which i have is Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde and i love it, i love piano pieces. Any suggestions, artists, songs?

We actually do have an established classical thead. (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=300672) I say established, but it often drops from the first page. Anyway if you like piano I would recommend some Beethoven sonatas. Nos 14 and 23 are very famous, so they're a good place to start seeing as Beethoven composed 32 sonatas.

thank you metal guitar i will read through the thread above and have a listen to your suggestions. btw is there a song called something like 'the four seasons'?

ok first, most classical music isnt songs. the four seasons is by vivaldi... extremely overplayed but still fun to listen to it

Just get any Bach's well tempered clavier piece, Chopin's noctunes/ballads/preludes, Scriabin's Poem of Fire, Poem of extasy, or his preludes, Rachmaninov's symphonies, piano concertos, or on particular piece - Variations on a theme of Paganini. Shostakovich's symphonies, his preludes and fugues, his string quartets, Stravinsky's ballets. All of them. bah, its too much

I recommend Holst's Planet suite and a selection of Mozart
Maybe some Rimski Korsikov (sp?)
Depends what you like
