"A night on the bare mountain" is a real masterpiece, and every performance is different, depending on the conductor, the orchestra, etc. There's no model, on the contrary of, for example, Beethoven symphonies. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your videos, I have bookmarked them and will watch them in due time.
As a classically trained pianist I'm always open for checking out classical music, even if it's not a big part of my typical listening habits.
To contribute something as well: Recently I have discovered and taken a great liking to the recorded performances and interpretations of Valentina Lisitsa, of which she has hundreds made available on her Youtube Channel.
Like this Rachmaninoff piece, a favourite of mine:
Thanks to the link to Richard Wetz's symphonies. I've been listening to his works all day via YouTube, it's wonderful. His Symphony No. 1 in C minor is fantastic, I'm on listen #2 and it's over an hour long just one time through!
I especially like Richard Wetz because of his works being very close to Anton Bruckner musical universe. if you like Wetz, I suggest you two incredible masterpieces : Bruckner 9th Symphony, whose first movement is just the most unbelievable piece of postromantic music ever, the 1st symphony by the young Hans Rott (went mad at the age of 21 and died six years later).
