http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...nclassical.png Hopefully everyone forgot that last week was Classical Period! ANGIE GRAB MY THREAD. POOR ORGAINZATIONAL SKILLS! RYM's top Modern Classical releases Wikipedia! This is a very broad genre, so hopefully will see lots of action. Um. |
Intoxicating:
and again: |
Gorecki has his own thread but I feel that this bears repeating.
Henryk Gorecki - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. |
Quote:
That sounds eerily ominous and somewhat disturbing. Is there a particular recording you would recommend? |
Arvo Part - Symphony No 4 (Part 1)

A very broad genre, indeed. So many subgenres, musicians, instruments....
I love Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (1935) and Peter and the Wolf (1936): |
modern classical
I like Eric Whitacre's choral compositions-particularly his work with the Virtual Choir. Check it out on youtube.

Two more heavyweights:
*Gustav Holst: The Planets (1918). I like that connection Planets' names --> Classical mythology --> Classical music. *George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue (1924). Here, piano is played by Leonard Bernstein (which should be mentioned in this thread too): |
Anne Akiko Meyers Birds In Warped Time - Violin - YouTube The video is being a bit spotty on my end, but it's a great bit of music, I hope some people can hear it through. |
