The Beginner's Guide to Modern Classical

Of lately I've been getting into a lot of Modern Classical. I was always interested in Classical but my tastes weren't very discerning. I could listen to the Classical station on the radio and would be fine with anything that came on. Modern Classical just has a more up-to-date feel which makes it more accessible. It's like asking someone off the street to read and interpret Elizabethan poetry.. chances are it will go right over their head (Speaking of which, I'm a huge fan of Elizabethan poetry). Well I don't wanna drag this out for too long, so here you go. I added in some Ambient tracks as well since it's quite a common influence.

Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight
Jóhann Jóhannsson - Fordlandia
A Broken Consort - Weight of Days
Richard Skelton - Of the Last Generation
Jóhann Jóhannsson - Fordlandia
Ólafur Arnalds - Himininn er að hrynja, en stjörnu
Jacaszek - Rytm To Nieśmiertelność
Hammock - City in the Dust in my Window
Library Tapes - And The Rain Did Fall
Goldmund - Evelyn
Christopher Bissonnette - In Accordance
