Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending (part 1) - (part 2)

I fell in love with this piece when it appeared on my playlist while driving through the English countryside on the way to pick up my future wife from the airport.

Mindaugas Piecaitis - Catcerto

Haunting and lively.

 

[Bill Rizer]

Albinoni, Adagio

sublime

Hungarian Dance No. 5

I also loved this music, from when I heard it first time in the next to last stage of Parodius (in which, btw, all score was composed of classical music)

Phew, big update on this one. Instead of just my favs, I made a list of everything posted so far in lexicographical order. Hope you'll have fun with it. Don't let this one die so fast :lol !

Hey, the Huapango is by Pablo Moncayo, or Huapango-Moncayo

Fits the list in the M

And to add something to this Thread:

Clause Debussy - Claire de Lune

 

[zoku88]

Albinoni, Adagio

I acutally like Number 6, and 10 more than 5. And 14, too.

5 never really sticks in my head..

I first heard 6 from some conducting game for PS2. :lol

old thread bump.

I went to see Turandot broadcast yesterday at my local theater. It was amazing! If you are at all interested in Opera you should go see it when it is rebroadcast. I don't claim to be an opera expert or anything, but the music and sets were breathtaking.

I might just watch this Turandot is one of my favorite operas (quite possibly my favorite). Thanks!

I'll add one of my favorites:

Chopin - Andante Spinato and Grand Polonaise

Some of you will recognize the Grand Polonaise part that was the part used in the Academy Award winning movie, The Pianist, right before the credits.

Andante Spinato: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVC7NpPAJ3Q

Grand Polonaise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsSRGm7MXBs

Yes, that's me (5 years ago). Sorry that the orchestra sucks. I was invited to do this back then.

Beethoven - Ninth Symphony

[ZephyrFate]

This doesn't fall into super classical and I'm not sure how to really classify it, but this track, to me, feels classical and ethereal all at the same time, from a Japanese classical composer:

Exhausted on the Holy Land - Drakengard II

 

[Guts Of Thor]

Here are a few of my fav pieces of classical music:

Maurice Ravel- Pavane for Dead Princess

Bach-Air on the G string

Claude Debussy-Nuages taken from Nocturnes

 

[BladeWorker]

Yesterday I went to the symphony. Rather enjoyed the whole shebang, and as I mentioned here, I now have Firebird stuck in my head.

Love that Stravinsky.

 

[WARCOCK]

Huge Mozart fanboy. Kinda see him as the Hendrix++ of classical music, by ++ i mean that he had already completed a huge and significant body of work before death, but omg if only he had lived longer.

I'm kinda too busy atm to enumerate all the tunes i like suffice to say:

-The requiem part he's written
-Queen of the night
-Symphony 41
- Klarinettenkonzert (K. 622) - Adagio
-23. Klavierkonzert (K. 488) - Adagio
-Ave verum corpus
-laudate dominum

WHY MOZART OWNZ

Man mass props to Bach,Chopin,Liszt, Debussy, Tchaikovsky etc... I like Beethoven but for some reason he doesn't move me as much as he does pretty much everybody else, i can certainly understand why he is regarded as one of the greatest though. Feel sorry for people that cannot appreciate classical music.

Bump for glory.

I've been listening to a lot of Schubert and Brahms lately. Schubert's melodies are amazing. They often sound so familiar, even if you never heard that piece before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FVzhHtCwY4 (Notturno for Piano trio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQy-cgUYA6g (Piano trio No. 2, 2nd movement, andante con moto)
Brahms' symphonies are amazing too. For some reason I love the final movements of the symphonies most, especially the one of the 1st symphony since I've seen it live a few weeks ago. (that was awesome)

This is an orchestra playing Mahler's 8th symphony, nicknamed Symphony of a thousand.

Beethoven, Piano sonata No. 31, 3rd movement: Adagio ma non troppo - Fuga: Allegro ma non troppo
I love fugues and I love romantic music. This is pretty much a combination of the two and probably one of my favourite piano pieces ever. I'd love to be able to play this.
