Have you heard of our Indian Classical Music.It's amazing.Saint Thayagarajar,Muthuswamy Dheekshidhar and Shyama Sasthrigal are our great Carnatic Gurus.They have composed several krithis in different raagas with great devotion towards God.You people will surely enjoy it.

Rachmanioff and Saint-Saens are my favorites followed by Chopin.

I'm in the same boat as a few people in this thread. Ive wanted to get into classical for a long time but I felt I needed directions as for places to start.

Great thread. I shall be using some of the suggestions.

I don't know much about classical music but I have really gotten into some of Debussy's work the past few weeks, in particular "claire de lune"

Thiruppugazh - Musical verses in praise of lord muruga in our language

Chopin is good! So is Bach and Mozart. By the way, listening to John Cage will improve your appreciation for music immensely! Enjoy!

Where can you get classical music for free? Blog searching is proving fruitless

mannny · 03-07-2009, 04:07 PM

I use torrents, and that's where I get the majority of my classical music.

I'd like to suggest a few:

Beethoven's "Pathetique"
Faure's Opus 50
Mahler's "Kindertotenlieder" (Songs on the Death of Children)
