Seems to me there's more exciting baroque music around than Vivaldi's FOUR SEASONS. Try these:
- Corelli's CONCERTI GROSSI performed by Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert. (Two CDs available at a reduced price.) - Handel's CONCERTI GROSSI op. 3 performed by Richard Egarr and the Academy of Ancient Music. - Rameau's suites performed by either Frans Bruggen (Dutch) or William Christie (French/American) and their period-instrument orchestras. You just won't find more gloriously melancholic baroque music ANYWHERE! (Unless you look for vocal music, of course.) And there are lots of similarities with symphonic prog. If you're a keyboard freak, try J.S. Bach, preferably played on harpsichord. The Goldberg Variations, the French and English Suites and the (4 CD) Well-Tempered Clavier are all great. (There's also a wonderful recording of the English Suites played on piano by Murray Perahia.) What else? Mozart's piano concertos, Berlioz' "Fantastic Symphony" and Schumann's solo piano music might all appeal to prog freaks. If you're into King Crimson or Henry Cow, you'll probably enjoy Stravinsky and Bartok. If you like ambient music, try Toru Takemitsu's DREAM/WINDOW, TREE LINE and IN AN AUTUMN GARDEN... |

| I am not an expert in classical music, but I've heard my fair share of it, and even been to a few concerts in my lifetime. Personal favourites of mine would be Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade", Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" and "Pictures of an Exhibition", Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" (saw it performed live - it was HEAVY, man!), Grieg's "Peer Gynt", assorted pieces by Sibelius... All music that has influenced prog to some degree or the other, and has often been cited in prog compositions. |

Holst - The Planets. Both KC and Emerson Lake and Powell borrowed from this. I've always enjoyed the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, but that is probably because it was the theme music to the original Bad News Bears movies.
I have heard that Prokofiev has some pretty "rockin'" classical tunes, but I am not too familiar with him.

| Personally, my favourite classical is from the romantic period, although my favourite composer is Ludwig Van Beethoven, so i would recommend Frederic Chopin and Franz Liszt, especially if you're a piano freak like me. other favourites of mine are Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", Holst's "Planets", Orff's "Carmina Burana". But in my opinion you'll be hard pressed to find bad classical music, those are just some of the best in my opinion. |

Perhaps the most complex piece of music ever written. And Igor was a "prog thinker". Anybody who would say, "My music is best listened to be children and small animals" is my kind of madman.
The Planets is the foundation for the career of famed movie music writer John Williams. Especially, Mars Bringer of War, Saturn the Bringer of Old Age, and Uranus the Magician (the juvenile in me always giggles a bit when I say that). And yes, Mars is borrowed frequently in prog.
Prokofiev is most famous for Peter and the Wolf.
Great picks guys.
Other good stuff for the prog fan...
Bela Bartok - Think somebody mentioned him already.
Alberto Ginestera - Argentina born contemporary composer.
Ravel - Most famous for "Bolero", had some huge sounding piece as well.
Richard Strauss - Thus Spake Zarathustra is overplayed, but he has a lot of other heavy orchestral to offer. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

When it comes to progressive rock I think those Russian composers listed above are a good way to go (Grieg is Norwegian and Seibelius is Finnish, but they fit well with the Russians) You might want to try some French music also Ravel, Satie, Debussy, Poulenc and later Stravinsky (yeah he became French, go figure). I think I should add that the Russian composers are all about power and strong melodies while the French are a bit more laid back and subtle. |

There's plenty of good classical music... where should I start from? I'll try to suggest something:
- Renaissance Polyphony is amazing: Palestrina and Despres are my favourite ones.
- Monteverdi's "Magnificat" and "Arianna's Lament"
- Baroque classical music is astounding: Vivaldi (besides his Four Seasons, try some religious music, like for instance the impressive "Nullo Mundo Pax Sincera"), Marcello, Corelli, Pachelbel (his canon is one of the most moving pieces in classical music), Purcell (his "Ode on St. Cecilia's Day" is simply wonderful)
- Bach is something completely different, my favourite one. Just listen how he could turn mathematics into trascendental music in his "Organ Variations on the Choral Von Himmel Hoch Da Komm'Ich Her"; I also go crazy for his "Goldberg Variations" (any version goes)
- Honestly, and there's no reason why, I'm not so fond of piano. But Ravel's piano concertos are really fundamental
- Stravinskij is a genius. Not only for the "Firebird" and the "Sacre du Printemps"; his "Les Noces" (I don't know if in English they are translated as "The Wedding") are really worth the while
- Contemporary classic is challenging, but also extremely rewarding. Try with Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna", Nono's "Il Canto Sospeso" and Stockhausen's "Kontakte".
...ok, let me add Mozart's "Zauberflote" -------------

Turangaglia Symphonie stands on its own as one odd piece of music and has some similarities to more adventurous progressive bands. It uses the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic keyboard that often sounds like something from an early science fiction movie, but more sophisticated than a theremin. It is one of those pieces that sounds "modern" in any era, sort of like those 60s synth lounge records only less kitschy. |

Just buzzed through some Bartok looking for the Crimson parts, I have been curious about this too as Fripp said his aim was to mix Chuck Berry with Bartok. The 5th movement of quartet number 4 sounds like Fripp himself. The 4th and 2nd movements are close too. Also 3rd movement of the 6th quartet 2nd movement of No 2. Some of the other records have less clear track divisions but I would say opening and closing of number 5 and apprx. 2nd movement No 3. |

no-one mentioned Gustav Mahler so far, so I will: his symphonies (especially the 9th), his "Kindertotenlieder", his "Lied von der Erde", the "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen"; all of these are highly recommended. another one that hasn't been mentioned: Robert Schumann. here I recommend his symphonies (especially his 3rd, the "Rheinische"), his "Dichterliebe" (a song cycle based on the lyrics of German poet Heinrich Heine), his a-minor piano concerto and "Manfred", a melodram based on the lyrics of Lord Byron. and since I am just listening to them on the radio: his 3 romances for clarinet and piano. last but not least: Franz Schubert. here I recommend "Die Winterreise", a song cycle (try to get the version with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau singing), his trout quintet, the string quartet Nr. 14 ("Death and the Maiden"), "Die schöne Müllerin" (another song cycle), his "unfinished" symphony in B-minor and his C-Major symphony (by today's usual way of counting his 8th; there was and is a bit of confusion and complication about counting his symphonies) and his many, many Lieder (over 600) -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Bach's Cello and Lute Suites are good on both their original instruments and arranged for guitar Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies are obvious starts although I prefer his various piano sonatas. Chopin's nocturnes and mazurkas Philip Glass's Civil Wars, and Music in 12 Parts Steve Reich's piano phase, electric counter point, and trains Dvorak's New World Symphony (no. 9). His other symphonies are good too and not nearly as appreciated as they should be. Holst's The Planets John Dowland's songs for lute Isaac Albeniz's piano works (also arranged for guitar like the mega-famous Asturias/Leyenda) Nikita Koshkin's The Elves Suite (guitar) Stravinski's Spring Sacrifice is a start Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade Bartok, Berlioz, and Brahms are good ones too! Bartok is far more different from the other two B's as he was modern, but he is great. |

are you sure you mean the "Erlkönig" by Schumann? many composers set that poem into notes; there are versions by Carl Loewe, Johann Friedrich Reichardt, Carl Friedrich Zelter, Robert Schumann, and Hugo Wolf. the most popular version though is by Franz Schubert, and somehow I have the feeling you mean this version, because it surely grips you with its galloping rhythm. and yes, Clara Schumann née Wieck should definitely be looked into ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I like good piano concertoes, like the ones by Grieg and Schumann, and Rachmaninov's second. Symphonies: I like Dvorak's 9th a lot, Beethoven's 5th and Mahlers 1st.
In my piano lessons I played a lot of Beethoven, Bach and Mozart piano pieces: always a good way to master the piano.
Personally I like national music a lot: I mean classical music with a folk music twist, like Brahms' Hungarian Dances, Rimski-Korsakov's Sheherazade and Grieg's Peer Gynt suites.
I like impressionist music as well, Debussy and Ravel, and I also like mixtures of classical music with jazz, like George Gershwin did.
On top of it all, I like some modern classical music, bits and pieces from Philip Glass' works (especially piano versions of themes from Einstein On The Beach, and some parts of Akhnaten and Koyaanisqatsi). John Adams and Arvo Pärt fascinate me as well.
But there's much more that I like.

Very happy to hear that! Haydn is my favourite symphonic composer of all time. A few dozen of his symphonies sound a little formulaic, but since he wrote more than a hundred, that's no problem at all! I particularly enjoy the so-called "Sturm und Drang" symphonies, which usually include the 'Mercury' symphony, the 'Fire' symphony etc. (and once again there's an excellent 6-CD bargain box set by Trevor Pinnock), and the six 'Paris' symphonies: truly life-enhancing stuff! |

I saw Charles Ives mentioned. He's probably my favorite composer. Ives' Fourth Symphony is life-altering stuff. Pretty much any of his work his worthwhile and challenging.
A little known 20th century composer that I rather like is Colin McPhee. He incorporated gamelan into his music after being impressed with Balinese music he had heard. Tabuh-Tabuhan is a surprisingly modern sounding piece that was published in 1936.
