Hi com,
I allways program with classic music, but I need new.
So, here my question:
Does anyone know good classic music?

For example: Shostakovich Jazz Suit no. 2 - Waltz 2

Thx for reading

I can name some, but only because they were on a game soundtrack lol

The Infernal Gallop (aka the cancan)
The Dance Of The Knights (aka the apprentice theme)
The William Tell Overture

Best versions of these are all found on the little king story soundtrack lol

Just use pandora and make a new classical music station. Or better yet, if you particularly enjoy one of those songs just make a new station with it.

YES My time to shine! I loveeee classical music!

Favourite concertos:
Prokofiev - 2nd Piano
Rachmaninoff - 3rd Piano
Prokofiev - 2nd Violin
Prokofiev - 3rd Piano
Rachmaninoff - 2nd Piano
Rachmaninoff - 1st Piano
Mozart - 20th Piano
Scriabin - Piano (he only wrote 1)
Chopin - 2nd and 1st piano
Grieg - Piano
Schumann - Piano
Saint Saens - Piano 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th
I'm probably forgetting something…

Favourite symphonies:
Tchaikovsky - 4th and 5th and 6th (5th is my absolute favourite)
Prokofiev - 5th and 6th
Dvorak - 9th
Rachmaninoff - 1st and 2nd and 3rd

Favourite piano sonatas:
Rachmaninoff - 2nd
Prokofiev - 7th and 8th and 6th and 3rd and 2nd
Chopin - 3rd
Scriabin - 1st

Favourite random pieces:
All of Rachmaninoff Etude Tableaux
All of Rachmaninoff Preludes
All of Chopin etudes (especially these), waltzes, ballades (especially these), scherzos, preludes, polonaises, mazurkas, impromptues, sonatas
Rachmaninoff symphonic dances
Scriabin etudes
Liszt etudes and piano sonata

Incase you can't tell, I play the piano and like classical music (especially romantic and contemporary) a lot :P/>

Damn there is so much more, I just can't be bothered typing it out…

And if you just want to listen to something quickly, just go here and here (my 2 favourite symphonies, you need to listen to the second one for more than 3 minutes). They probably aren't the best recordings, I just chose the first ones on YouTube, my favourite recordings I have in my iTunes library.

For a nice injection of Baroque and organ into this discussion:

Just about anything by Bach, but particular his Brandenburg Concerto's, and his organ works, among them:
- Passacaglia in Cm
- "Dorian" Toccata and Fuga in Dm
- Really anything between BWV 525 and BWV 560

A lot of Vivaldi's lesser known works surpass the Four Seasons. Op. 3 No 11 is a good example, but there are dozens and worth researching. Buxtehude, Telemann and Pachelbel also have a large oeuvre, again chiefly organ pieces (which are brillaint, particularly the Chaconnes and Fugue's), but some very strong concertos as well. For a little almost medieval flavour, what about Sweenlinck's Variations on Mein Junges?

Even if the originals don't quite float your boat, the high level of plagiarism in the 16th century meant a lot of transcriptions exist, so for a lot of pieces you can find an arrangement you like. And because the composers were so prolific, some attributed to producing thousands of pieces of music in their lifetime, you should find plenty to keep you going.

I'd recommend Vivaldi's four seasons and Bach's Cello Suites (you probably know cello suite 1 already)
That should give you a good 3 hours of fresh music xD
