Classical Music.

**Manny Fagnett** · May 26th, 2011, 12:49 AM

Right then, Here I am once more starting yet another thread that may die. I dunno.

I am no expert of music but I know what I like. 'Classical' Is just an umbrella really from anything from Medaeviel right up to 20th century (as far as I know stuff). This is just a thread to post something classical you like. It's not looking for technical music analysis, just spreading the music to others to enjoy.

Here is my first post and blimey, what a choice of composer: Shostakovich.

I love listening to classical, but am no expert.I listen to symphony and chamber music, but was never a big fan of piano concertos.Strings for me

My all time favorites are
Rossini-Barber of Seville Overture

John Williams (from damn near every hit movie)

My all time favorite classical recording is now pretty hard to find: J.S. Bach Concertos- Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Neville Marriner. On the Argos (Decca) label, circa 1975. In particular, I just love the Concerto for Three Violins in D major. I first heard this piece in the Dallas Galleria, and purchased it on the spot.

Cheers,

Just a question to you all: Do you think or feel that composers such as Stockhausen and styles such a musique concrete should be posted here too (if you enjoy)?

Hmmmm i`m not completely sure , as speaking simply about Stockhausen the playful nature of his works tend to be cut with a bittersweetness of ambiance which may unsettle some of our more unrefined members.

Psssss

Is it obvious i know nothing whatsoever about classical music

Phew ; great i got away with it

Anything by The English Concert conducted by Trevor Pinnock, especially the harpsichord concertos. Also Shostakovich Symph. No. 11 conducted by Stokowski.

I enjoy a wide range of classical music, particularly the following:-

Possibly the greatest symphony ever written, Beethoven 9
Possilby the symphony with the greatest final movement, Sibelius 5
And just because I like it, Saint-Saens Organ Symphony.

From opera, the Duet from The Pearl Fishers, preferably sung by Jussi Bjorling & Robert Merrill.

Can't go wrong with the former nations' favourite The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan-Williams or his trilogy of English folk songs. Classic FM is my station of choice and although I can't stand choir music(except at Christmas with the carols etc) I do like to listen late at night, particularly on a warm night in the Summer when you can't sleep-very relaxing.

Thanks for this thread. I'm a lover of classics, and one of my favourite work is "Die Moldau", (Smetana). When i'm listening this sound i'm seeing the river, ... every part of music is a different part of the water course...
