Yes, bands.

The drummer for Brahms has some serious chops. And their guitarist ain't bad either.

You are a shocker Are you ever serious these days!

Probably best that this thread is used for Classical music, as most of us classical nerds have already posted in it.

This might help. Some people call it "The Internet"

At the moment I'm getting in to Beethoven, Brahms, Handle, Bach, Haydn and Wagner.

The Beet is the man.

it may be a good idea to start out with some well-known works which you might have heard parts of at some time or another. for instance,

vivaldi - the four seasons
corelli - concerti grossi op.6 (especially no.8)
albinoni - adagio in g minor
pachelbel - canon
j s bach - toccata and fugue in d minor for organ, goldberg variations, brandenburg concertos, italian concerto in f major
mozart - eine kleine nachtmusik, symphony no.40, requiem
beethoven - symphonies nos.5 & 9
schubert - symphony no.8 "unfinished", ave maria
berlioz - symphonie fantastique, requiem
chopin - nocturnes
paganini - 24 caprices for solo violin
grieg - peer gynt suites, holberg suite
tchaikovsky - swan lake (suite), piano concerto no.1, symphony no.6 "pathetique"
mussorgsky - night on the bare mountain
rimsky-korsakov - sheherazade
holst - the planets ("mars")
mahler - symphony no.1, symphony no.5: 4th movement (adagio)
sibelius - finlandia, symphony no.2
prokofiev - classical symphony, montagues and capulets (from romeo and juliet)
rachmaninov - vocalise, prelude in c sharp minor op.2

there are hundreds of different recordings of some of these works. try to pick one that does not look cheap. a quality recording of a good performance makes a huge difference. you might want to buy your first cds from a top all-around label like deutsche grammaphon.

The four seasons is amazing, my mam played it non stop when I was little.

 

[opeth_353]

Sergei Prokofiev.

i would not recommend the recordings we mention on that thread to someone who has not listened to classical music seriously (kodaly, ligeti and monteverdi really will not do. i could see someone listening to some marais and boccherini and enjoying it, though). it's better to start out with the well-known works, as it's a little easier to get into them.

edit: but yes, people could check that thread out too. i will post recommendations of specific recordings there. it's better to keep this sort of thing on one thread.

Good point...
