Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Moonlight Sonata

Shostakovich Symphony #5

[weazelzb]

check out some grieg and Mahler's symphonies

 

[Raoul_Duke]

Strauss's sprach Zarathustra. the theme from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: a space odyssey

 

[lizziebeth]

night on bald mountain by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky.

it's the one in fantasia with the demons and whatnot.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

^word, but the orchestral version was actually arranged by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the piano peice that it was based on was written by Mussorgsky

Oh yeah, can't go past Mozart's requiem (or any masses for that matter, especially haydn) and O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Orff

 

[lizziebeth]

it appears we're both wrong and right. the one that's in Fantasia was arranged/revised by Leopold Stokowski from Rimsky-Korsakov's version which was a revision of Mussorgsky's original.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

it did sound slightly different, and that's why, I actually didn't know that, cheers

 

[weazelzb]

I personally prefer Verde's requiem to Mozarts, though both are beautiful pieces for sure

 

[alpinecowboy84]

you want max richter's 'the blue notebooks' album. good pieces include the whole thing is mindblowing so i couldn't tell you which pieces you should download. phillip glass is also a good choice, try and see if you can find 'protest' or 'metamorphosis'. 'string quartet no. 3 (mishima)' by the kronos quartet another good selection.

 

[Krongos]

adagio for strings by samuel barber...mad good

 

[Snubluck]

That is my single favorite classical piece of music ever. Samuel Barber is a fucking genius (behind leonard bernstein).

 

[J.D.]

Fuck violin, vocals and piano. Von Weber - 1st Concerto for Clarinet, allegro. BITCH.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

^I can play that, and it's a sensational peice

I'd also recommend Pavane by Gabriel(?) Faure, beautiful piece of music
