What was your first album?
 

I know there are some Classical music enthusiasts out there! I'll be completely honest and say that I've never purchased a Classical CD. However, I'm looking to start, so please tell us the first album that inspired you to like Classical music.

It definately was Mozart ;)

Do you remember which one?

Probably a recomposition version by the national orchestra, not sure though I was so young heh heh

you know come to think of it, it was a compellation with about 30 CDs with all different compositions from different classical artists, and it was like CDs 14-18
I think, I'd have to research to see what it was called ;)

Stp

Vivaldi 4 seasons !

Empire Strikes Back - Soundtrack

True story, moves me to this day

I was gonna say I don't have any classical on CD, only vinyl, but I did buy A New Hope soundtrack in 4th grade. Good stuff.

Otherwise, Tchaikovsky's Overture of 1812 on vinyl. And I downloaded Stravinsky's Rites of Spring. Both around the same time.

Verdi's Requiem here... 5 minutes later, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I suggest Carmina Burana first.. oh man... what a masterpiece. Also try Schubert's Mass in G.

You can never go wrong with Mozart's Requiem. Never.

bizet - carmen

The Nutcracker!

Beethoven-specifically the Immortal Beloved soundtrack!

various, so old i forgot whats on it

Well..you can begin even with an opera..the verdi's traviata..
but mozart is wonderful to begin too..the piano sonatas

I don't know it..do you know the italian name of it? thanx..:)

The Most Frightening Music in the Universe http://www.napster.com/player/album/10924008

I absolutely love the spooky/menacing sounding stuff.

Luigi Boccherini- Boccherini:Cello Sonatas

i think it was probably Bohren and Der Club of Gore, at the end of last year.

My first was a collection of Chopin piano pieces...a Naxos CD. I am a musician and since I was little, it was my goal to play as many of those pieces on the CD that I could. I've come close! So if you find a CD you are really inspired by, it can help you achieve great things.

My first classical albums were compilations of the 4 big ones (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and Tchaikovsky) that my father gave me when I was about 7. They were all on tape and they had lovely black, white and red covers. :p:

Some works by Chopin. Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Greig.
