I'm pretty entry-level with classical music. Here's what I have so far:
Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 and some of those Slavonic dances. Shostakovich: Symphonies 1 and 5 Berlioz: La Damnation de Faust and Smyphonie Fantastique Stravinsky: The Firebird Beethoven: Symphonies 1 to 9, sans 6 Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 4 to 6, Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture, The Storm, and Overture solennelle 1812. Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra I'll look into everything else posted so far, but if you have any other recommendations, please do tell. |

Tchaikovsky symphony 3 is very underrated. Also listen to his first piano concerto, serenade for strings, and ballet music (start with the shorter suite versions). Shostakovich symphony 10. Dvorak - cello concerto, serenade for strings. Stravinsky - rite of spring |
I recommend Secret Garden. Their music is delicious.

I'm looking into Henry Cowell, and Stockhausen. I need an entry point for both. Remember, also, I'm a seasoned avant-garde, and classical listener, so no need to worry about accessibility.

A good "entry point" to Stockhausen's music, I think, is the series of pieces he called Klavierstücke (wikipedia: Klavierstücke (Stockhausen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There are 19 of them; here's the first 4: I also recommend Zyklus: And for something a little more adventurous (and creepier), I suggest Mikrophonie I & II: I II Hope this helps you. |
Many thanks for the suggestions. I downloded Mikrophon I and II, and am going to start on them soon.
Got a piano collection of Henry Cowell. Not bad stuff: |
You're welcome. That Cowell piece is very cool. I'm going to look into more of his stuff. Also, the way it's played reminds me of George Crumb's Makrokosmos, at least Book I, with the reaching into the piano and that. I mentioned the Makrokosmos piece to loose_lips a few weeks ago and he liked it and downloaded it :)

looking for upbeat "inspirational" music
I'm looking for some upbeat, "inspirational" or romantic type of music that is almost akin to rock music, but is less "loud" (if you catch my drift). An example might be that music at the end of the movie "Remember the Titans" (Trevor Rabin - Titan Spirit).
Thanks. |
