 Topic: Favorite classical piece of music?
Posted: March 02 2006 at 13:22 |
|
If Prog is a "subdivision" of classical symponic music: what would you give to a friend to convince him, that this music is great stuff. -
For me:
- PETER TSCHAIKOWSKY "6. Symphony" (Pathetique) conducted by Sergiu Celibidache
- VAUGHAN WILLIAMS "The lark ascending" conducted by Sir Adrian Boult
The catch is that I'm looking for stylistic elements from this musical gems in Prog-Music. "Mad man moon" by GENESIS is very close to this kind of classical atmosphere.
What's your choice?

YES - Close to the edge / UK - UK / GENESIS - The lamb lies down / KING CRIMSON - Discipline / MIKE OLDFIELD - Tubular bells / JETHRO TULL - Aqualung / GENTLE GIANT - Three friends / TMO - IMF

not really "classical" in the true sense of the word (the "classical" period refers to Haydn, Mozart and the early Beethoven and their contemporaries), but in a broader sense of the word: "Le Sacre du Printemps" by Igor Stravinsky. very influential for Prog, in my opinion. I choose the version with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra

Thanks Baldjean: of course I mean all the music until today that is not played in MTV but in opera or concert halls. We call that "classic" (in german is "ernste" Musik). I don't know the appropriate term in English.

Toccata In D-Fuga  by JS Bach, played on a real church organ is such an impressive sound, it is mighty close to the most bombastic progrock!

I have many since my wife is a classical musician and teacher and
we have lots and I mean lots no, truck loads of classical CDs. However
the one Ilike the most is Mozart piano Concerto No. 21 in C minor Geza
Anda.

I like Vaughan Williams' Fantasia in A on a theme by Thomas Tallis - listen to it in the dark at full volume - it's awesome. Another current favourite is a piece called Evening Hymn by Balfour Gardiner - this is choral & really very moving

Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2.... 
I melt everytime I hear it... simply incredible.. especially to hear Rachmaninoff himself play it.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for me. I got to hear it live with a full chorus about a year and a half ago and I think the room levitated in the 4th movement. I never get tired of hearing it.

I bet baroque would be the best to start with, The four seasons by Vivaldi or the cello suites by Bach.

you are probably refering to the Welte-Mignon recordings of Rachmaninoff. there are some of Debussy and Mahler too. and of Gershwin

Favorite classical piece of music?
hahahha... yeah. Maybe it's just
me but I really enjoy hearing him play it as well. He wasn't just
a great composer but a great pianist as well at least IMO (correct me
if you feel differently hahahha)
