StrangerofSorts: Rec Me Classical

StrangerofSorts 10.27.11	Anything vaguely orchestral will do if it fits.
UnnamedOcean 10.27.11	For more modern stuff I would rec: Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks Olafur Arnalds - Eulogy for Evolution / ...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness
seedofnothing 10.27.11	bro classical is m/ m/ m/ m/
seedofnothing 10.27.11	Beethoven owns all, Wagner is good, he was one of the greatest German composers also for the love of life, check out Lud's violon concerto, itll be the first result on youtube you type that in. performed by the great Peter Tsyouski or however you spell his name, i guess he's not that great if i cant remember huh
seedofnothing 10.27.11	"Olafur Arnalds " ^this was good too^ doesnt touch the old school shredders though
NeutralThunder12 10.27.11	do you want like legit baroque era classical music or would you except post-modern/post-rck stuff
liledman 10.28.11	henryk gorecki - symphony no. 3 gustav mahler - symphony no. 2, 9, or just any of them johannes brahms - symphony no. 2 igor stravinsky - rite of spring, petrouchka, firebird dmitri shostakovich - symphony no. 7 + any of his symphonies or string quartets mozart - requiem richard wagner - tristan und isolde chopin - nocturnes claude debussy - preludes, suite bergamasque bela bartok - concerto for orchestra, piano concertos, string quartets beethoven - late string quartets
liledman 10.28.11	dont get the watered down stuff
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	I'm happy for the post-rock/ambient style stuff if you've got something awesome that I wouldn't have heard of - but I'm really looking for the kind of stuff I don't listen to already. Thanks for the recs so far.
seedofnothing 10.28.11	sounds like he know his shit, ive sure ive heard most of these, i just cant remember all the numbers and opus's ect. but i do know lud's sting quartets are trippy as fuck
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	Seems so.
Monheim 10.28.11	Rachmaninoff - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Variation 18
br00talkid96 10.28.11	Classical music is for old fashioned hipsters. Igor Stravinsky, Ludovico Einaudi & Arvo Part.
Relinquished 10.28.11	if you're gonna get Ludovico Einaudi, get Fabrizio Paterlini even though they're contemporary classical musicians.
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	"Classical music is for old fashioned hipsters." Shit, I've been found out.
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	Bump to check it any people in the know didn't see this last night.

MO 10.28.11	liled knows whats up, one of my favourites is Shostakovich's symphony no.5.
sniper 10.28.11	shostakovich string quartets, shoenberg's 5 pieces for orchestra, all three of stravinsky's early ballets, strauss' "also srach zarathustra." there's a various cd's compiling piano works by franz liszt; get one. ravel's first piano trio is worth getting, as are his piano pieces. if you want some truly modern sounds, check out anything by penderecki before he went tonal (start with threnody for the victims of hiroshima and definitely listen to his capriccio).
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	Thanks.
sniper 10.28.11	if you are into/don't mind singing in classical music (art songs and opera), listen to some wagner, especially tristan and isolde,many credit that work as the beginning of the end of tonal music. extremely adventurous and very serious romantic music at its most epic. and both ravel and debussy set some stephane mellarme poems to music around the same time and are worth hearing, especially ravel's. look up "trois poemes de stephane mellarme" by ravel. try to watch a video, you'd be amazed at the sounds he gets out of the string section.
StrangerofSorts 10.28.11	I've never really been able to get into singing with classical music - I'll definitely have another shot at it. The poems one sounds very interesting.
