I am not really into classical, but when I was younger, I saw Ravel's Bolero performed by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops - since then, I've always loved that piece.
As a child I listened to classical music quite a lot (not many things though, only the vinyls we had).
My fav was by far, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

It's funny that you metioned this because Therion remade "O fortuna" and it is really sweet but I had asked my dad (the guru of classical music) who did that song and my dad said "I don't know" but a couple of days later a cd came in the mail and sure enough it was "carmina Burana" so I had to listen to it, I give it high marks
.I am suprised that no one has metioned khachaturian he's one of my favorite. But my altime best composer is
drum roll please
Beethoven!!!!
Big suprise there
I am only sad that I left all of my Beethoven at my grandma's house and I have to wait till I go back to get them :waa:
If I only had a bullet then I'd show them

I'd love to hear more Bartok - I've really liked what I heard so far. I can recommend you a band called Univers Zero. They are very Bartok-influenced, it seems to me.
Crumb is too weird even for me...

I was turned onto Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture around 15 years ago and I haven't been the same since.
Seriously though, that is what got me into classical music...and I thought heavy metal was a "new thing."
Tchaikovsky is my absolute favorite composer. Listen to his 6th symphony, the first movement still brings me to tears and the 3rd is so powerful, it rivals the heavy metal bands of today.
Shostakovich - His New Year's Symphony is spell-binding.
Beethoven's 3-5 & 9th symphonies are extraordinary.
Rachmaninoff - 2nd symphony, rich and melodic.
Strauss, Boradin, Schubert, Mozart, so many many more...

I like Tchaikovsky's works, particullarly 'Swan Lake.' I went and saw Swan Lake a couple of years ago when it was on at the Brisbane EC and it was even more haunting, sad and ultimately beautiful when it was fully orchestrated and in an ampitheatre than I've heard anywhere else.
Im really into classical. I do like the obvious (beethoven, Mozart) but I also very much enjoy Dvorak, Schubert, Chopin, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky. And as far as newer composers go, Henry Mancini rules.

Hmmm, I'm not surprised some people in here like classical but you all are just scratching the surface. For metalheads I would recommend Rachmaninoff or Brahms, both have a heavy, forward style. I have played piano for about ten years, I could indulge in this stuff. The thing to do is not look for certain composers. One of the best composers who stands out purely for style to me is Franz Liszt. Liszt's works are brilliant, before anything else (exempting Rach.) one should go for Franz Liszt. Sure Tchaikovsky is nice but I'm not partial to much of it. Shostakovich was an American composer, also in 19th century, he had some OK stuff. Beethoven too, an excellent apart from moonlight sonoata which also scratches merely the surfaces. There are three movements to that song, everyone only knows the second which is by far the easiest. Bach and Mozart are strict classical from the 18th century whereas Rachmaninoff is from the 19th, this was no longer called classical anymore...but anyway, it's best to look up an excellent player, or symphony. That way you can get good composers and look them up later. I would suggest LangLang (18 year old kid who is absoloutely incredible at piano), Van Cliburn... those are my two favorites. I am not as familiar with symphony stuff but, thats more available than good piano is I think.

While a great piece, he has so many other not so well known pieces that are fantastic. Sadly, I hear most of them on the radio and never pick up the title. But he was quite the violin virtuoso, so... he writes great violin pieces.
And DisT..., I'm not much of a fan of the piano... I can't quite explain why, but for me, a piano rarely can carry a full piece. I'm just wierd.
