Rimsky Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnole is great! Can't keep my feet still!

Here's the first part:

I am also a big Shostakovich Fan. Love his first Violin Concerto. I post the medium bit which is my fav part.

Moreover, a great modern piece is Milhaud's "Le boeuf sur le toit". It's really funny!

(Not the best recording...)

 

Otherwise I am also a big fan of Prokofiev (Peter and the Wolf :)) and Gershwin.

Oh Gershwin. Him and Robert Johnson were probably two of the only good things to come out my poorly instructed music theory class.

yes, its cliche, but:

SRSLY.

 

Oh I have that on my iPod actually :sweatdrop: I love it.

Really happy about all the classical love here. :nice: Some people think it's scary, but It's really rewarding if you give it a chance. Balanced musical diets are a good thing. :cool:

:laugh3:

Well, it must have been some wild class! I recall in the mists of my memory that Gershwin wrote his Rhapsody in Blue after riding on a train (steam train) - perhaps incorporating some of the sounds and experiences from the train ride into the music.. Robert Johnson - I'll need to take a refresher course on his music..:inquisitive:

on a related note. 'Manhattan' anybody?

I already said that ricardo :heart:

But I did not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in addition it had to be said twice

or four times

I created a thread for classical music right when I was a classical n00b, not that I am a learned guy now but I'm not that bad :lol:

It must be in page 10 or so in WOM section

I tried looking for it but failed. This must've been the 3rd classical music thread in the last year or so, which is cool...but I find myself reposting the same stuff everytime there's a new thread.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm starting to like classical music as well.

It may have something to do with me listening to Coldplay and Muse. :)

I can't help but think of Muse and HAARP when I hear this.

:D muse

 

Oh and Liszt...

 

 

Hope you like them noonsun. :nice:

 

 

Its wonderful, I love Liszt! I have that on my iPod. And I was able to play the first part of it but that damn piece is just too hard :dead:

Liszt is hard in general. :dead:

what instrument do you play?

try Corelli

what's ya'lls opinion of postmodern minimalist stuff like Phillip Glass?

suggestions

 

I also adore eric satie's gymopedies because they're based on my favorite chords.

 

 

 

I have those on CD! Also from that same CD is one of my favorite impressionistic pieces by Debussy called "Nocturnes"

This is the movement of that piece called "Nuages". It's hauntingly beautiful.

I'm also partial to Tschaikowsky's symphonies...particularly symphonies #4 and #5.

 

Rachmaninoff's piano concertos are amazing, too. The song "All By Myself" is actually derived from his 2nd piano concerto.

 

And the Brahms symphonies are also lovely. As a horn player, I tend to err towards music from the Romantic period because that is all the good stuff for horn.

what's ya'lls opinion of postmodern minimalist stuff like Phillip Glass?

 

It's intriguining, but not really my cup of tea. I remember having to compose our own tone rows back in college, a la Schoenberg, and I always made my tone rows consonant instead of dissonant.
