The Classical Music Recommendation Thread

You're welcome! I wasn't sure what you had already listened to, so I just offered my suggestions for a beginner. "The Letter" is probably my favourite Partch piece.

You can also check out Philip Glass, and even the film Koyaanisqatsi, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and featuring music that was all composed by Glass.

I love Beethoven's music! It's always amazing no matter in what mood I am. So my recomendation would be the new disk with his compositions that I found at onyxclassics. Maxim Rysanov, Kristina Blaumane and Jacob Katsnelson perform it. Hope you'll like it as I do.

Heliotrope - The Romance of the Rose: Feminine Voices from Medieval France

Quote:

The Romance of the Rose

The poetic traditions of medieval France produced the first great flowering of vernacular lyric poetry in Western Europe. This recording features songs by the women troubadours or trobairitz from southern France, and also women's songs or chansons de femme from the trouvère tradition in the North.

On a slightly more serious recommendation...
Not sure how well this is known in classical circles I don't know much about the genre but it's a great piano piece.

Anybody into 2CELLOS? I just found out they're releasing a new album in January and I'm really excited about it! Their cover of Highway to Hell has Steve Vai in it. CRAZY!

This cover of Supermassive Black Hole with Naya Rivera is awesome!

Hi ,
First of all I want to say that I don’t really listen to classical music.
I have nothing against it; it’s just not my cup of tea!
(Usually I listen to rock, hip hop or electronica)
However on the radio the other day I heard this:

And I was very intrigued.
The sounds, the arrangements and the inventiveness of this piece captured my full attention.
So I would like to ask you guys what particular sub branch of classic music is this and where could I find similar works.
Thanks!

It's a totally modern era chamber piece
