He's not exactly a Classical composer either, as he was one of the pioneers of 20th century Modernist composing. The Rite of Spring is amazing though, good choice.

There's a good article on Stravinsky here:

And compositions without words are called PIECES, not songs, dammit!

And as long as I'm sidetracked on modern composing.... Harry Partch's "Barstow" and his somewhat harder to find "US Highball" are amazing, as are Charles Ives' "They are There!" and his three-part "Three Places in New England".

So I'm not really into classical music, but I like to talk so I am saying that I like Stevie Vai's version of Beethoven's 5th.

I just thought of something... I don't like a whole lot of techno stuff but there are a lot of techno remixes of classical songs that are pretty sweet

i like the song that starz™ used in their commercial... i just can't think of the name.

Mike, I think the piece you are referring to is "Ode to Joy"....hope this helps

I love the Prokofiev piano Concertos. I hope to play them someday with an orchestra. I am working on Nocturne by Debussy and it is the most Beautiful Nocturne I have ever heard. Also I love the Scherzos and Ballades by Chopin (especially G minor Ballade).I could go on and on so I'll quit with these few pieces.

If its Baroque, I like it (9/10ths of the time) I really like Prelude in C Maj
It was origonally writen as an excersize for Bach's students....and a darn good one it was. Played well on Piano or the nylon stringed guitar, it is a beatiful and expresive piece that is tough to beat.
Another piece from a different period, was a vocal arangment by Rocmaninove (can't spell the names) Bogro Dietse Dievo..... or somthing like that...
