Latest classical song/suite you've heard.

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I was wondering if you could share the latest classical piece you've enjoyed.


I heard some Haydn while driving today and I listened for the title after the song. It put me in a good mood.

So let's enjoy some classical music.

Brahms, Piano Quartet in C Minor

Manfred Overture by Schumann


Without the opening appluase, of course, though most of the youtube versions are really old 1940's recordings... didn't realise so many of them existed...

Very nice topic, sir. I've got two suggestions which have been on my playlist (internal or otherwise) for a while now.


Bela Bartok... no words.


Philip Glass's first violin concerto, second movement has shaped the way I see the world today. Last year around this time (very near my birthday, in fact) I learned he had written a second violin concerto. Besides the feeling of my skin wanting to get up and walk away, in a good way, I know not how to describe the way this music makes me feel.

Does it have to be "classical" or does it just have to be orchestral n such?

I was showing my friend the genius of the composer paganini, so I guess his 5th caprice was the last thing I listened to:

Beethoven's 9th Symphony:

 

[thylasos]

I listen to Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition about once a week.

Here's a bit of a snippet, which ought to be recognisable to anyone on nodding terms at the local shop with classical music...

Was listening to the brandenburg concertos all day, actually. Is a lovely small orchestra that plays them brilliantly. Here's a link for ya.
Number one, part one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpf38dQpMzk Just goes on from there. Though I think some of the videos are a bit broken, as a heads up.

 

[Tragedy's Rebellion]

A lesser known one, actually - Chopin Rondo Op. 16

I was listening to my All-state band of I believe 2000's performance of Holst's Mars: Bringer of War [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KYJOLM8SUE]

Just pretend that this is an amateur recording of a band composed of the sort-of elite of High School and that is what it actually sounds like

But of course I was in it, so it must have been the best. I was HELL of rocking that second clarinet part.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Corelli's Christmas Concerto, I have to perform it in a few months so I thought I'd hear it a few times just to make sure I'm doing it right.

Mars: Bringer of War

Classical brofist right there. Picked up an LP of Holst when I was a nipper, blew me away (though my SO has a wide on for Jupiter instead).

Personally I love Barber's Adagio for strings too, but my latest (and a family favourite) has to be Carmen.

Late night classical... <3

For someone who really enjoys Bach's music, I'm not that big of a fan of the Brandenburg Concertos, much preferring the 'standalone' pieces (violin concerto in A-minor, concerto in D-minor for three harpsichords etc.).

That's fine. I don't enjoy every single part of the concertos either, but there are some that are iconic and instantly recognizable in those works, and for good reason. It's because they're good. The Brandenburgs are among my favorites...or at least certain parts thereof...so I listen to them semi-regularly.
