Classical?
 

I have been pretty interested in other genres for a long time. I heard a Symphony the other day and i really really liked the sound. Can you guys give me some good songs (is that waht i call it lol) done by some symphonys around the world? Thanks

Beethoven

Try some Tchaikovsky. The Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture is amazing. Or Bach. Personally I'm not a fan of Beethoven or Mozart, I find their music too mechanical, whereas Bach's is very much alive; he uses interweaving melodies and counter melodies, which are astounding to listen to. Admittedly I don't know much classical music as in actual specific pieces and composers, but I was brought up around it, and recently I've found that I enjoy listening to those 2 in particular, but that's just me. you've got centuries of music to choose from; take your time, and dip into everything.

Frederick Chopin
Franz Schubert
Bach is great if you like the barouge scene, what symphony did you hear.

Verdi, GO!

mozart
puchini
franz lizt
any of the bach family, yes there is more than one bach and their all related

I perfer more modern calssical music.
So my only suggestion is Leonard berenstein.

Have you any idea who it was by? Orchestral music has changed a lot through history. Baroque classical and Romantic classical music in particular are stylistically very different. So do you have any ideas for which direction we should point you in? What kind of sounds and feelings do you like from the music?

^ I like both lol, but yeah, hjust saying you heard a symphony doesn't help, but it could very well likely have been Beethoven's 9th.

I heard the Seattly Symphony and i really really liked their sound. So do you guys have any good "Pieces" by them?

Or do yo have any "pieces" that are similiar to the seattle symphony?

If you go to:

http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symph...scography.aspx

It gives you a list of the recordings which the Seattle Symphony have made. Unlike many bands, it not common for orchestras to write their own music. They usually perform music written by composers a long time ago (sometimes they do perform new music which has been written specifically for them by a composer, but this is less common). In some respects, orchestras are a lot like cover bands...

ANYWAY, I'd recommend you look at the link I've given above and make a note of the names in the composer column. This will give you an idea of the composers you might want to look for music by.

Looking at the size of the list, it might not be a bad idea just to get some more music recorded by the Seattle Symphony, as this might help you to identify which composer's pieces you like the most.

They probably didn't have any original pieces, they probably performed some pieces by the greats.

Stravinsky is a personal favorite. The Firebird Suite is amazing! Another great composer is Debussy. Try the La Mer tone poem. It's one of my favs.

For Me Bach in Particular, I enjoyed His Brandenburg Concerto's, particularly No. 5, anyone with me eh?

Yeah, I love bach's music. We have one of his cantatas for the Leaving, it's great!

i hate it
 

i hate clasical music

oh thatw as productibve, suppose you can't handle the complexity

LOL Leave the man alone, he's probably lost a friend on MySpace or something

^ :d

I was joking

haha yeah. I saw his post, thought about slagging him, then saw yours and thought Nah, there's no way I can beat that...

i thought it was funny, the stupid smiley didnt work

Anything by Chopin. Favs have gotta be:

Nocturne in C# minor or Fantasie Improumtu. Can't go wrong.

Bach was part of the era where music HAD to be mechanical it was forbidden to express feelings in music during the Baroque times. Mozart began the transition from that mechanical type of music to feeling and expression. So you've got it backwards

Listen to both, and tell me who sounds more emotional. Bach's has more life to it. It may be more structured, but mozarts is too musically perfect, it's dry a lot of the time.

I see your point now, I had misinterpreted it. However, I would dissagre with the later statment. While it maybe almost musically "perfect" his muisc still has tons of emotion and reflects of time during his life. All Bach's music was about the church and his passion for it.

I'll admit i haven't heard very much of his work, But that I have heard has been lacking what I've been talking about. I just find Bach's work more lively, more stimulating.

I think its just a matter of preference so there is no right or wrong. :)

yeah, pretty much.

How about a rock rendition of Pachelbel's "Canon in D".

The Korean guy playing the solo got discovered via through YouTube because of his playing skills.

Why the double post?

Haha, that's pretty good. Nice guitar, too!

Not my most favourite of classical pieces though...

Hello, i'm 23 ans i listen classical music
I love Heandel, Mozart for the baroque
Beethoven of course (concerto for piano n°3 & 5 is my best)
Actually, i visit the style of Dimitri Shostakovich (symphony Leningrad)
Bartok is good but it's very hard to listen for a novice

I think today, film music is a bridge of classical music => John William, Hans Zimmer....

I forget
Adagio => Albinoni
Very Relaxing

lol which adagio by albinoni?

Beethoven for the win!

Although Albinoni is great too!
