I like most forms of classical music (not particularly fond of French Baroque but you can't have everything). However if I had to choose my 10 favourites and the reasons it would probably be:
Igor Stravinsky - Rite of Spring. First classical piece I saw performed as a ballet and also the first piece of music that really made me question my whole understanding of harmony and rythm. Olivier Messiaen - both his Catalogue of Birds and Quartet for the End of Time. As with Stravinsky I just fond Messiaen's whole harmonic sense so rich, moving and questioning. Love the idea of mimicking rather than flattering it. Steve Reich - Different Trains - very moving piece particularly if you read the background as to what the people are talking about. The conversations/interviews are survivors of the concentration camps talking about how they were moved about during WWII by train to and from camps. It's also a very accessible piece of modern composition. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto 3 - the breadth of dynamics from a piano (particularly if it's played by someone like Martha Argerich) is stunning - from almost silent to thunderous in a heart's breadth. George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue - classical composition meets jazz. Great piece of music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano concerto no 21 (the Elvira Madigan) K461 - notoriously difficult to play but when it's played well it is stunningly beautiful. Also it always reminds of the film of the same name. Karol Szymanowski - Stabat Mater - just a beautiful choral piece. Hugely moving particularly if you ever hear it performed live in a cathedral. Witold Lutoslawski - Chain 3 - again its just a great piece that challenged how I understand music and composition. I find it amazing that it is possible to build a coherent whole by overlapping different short musical takes. Benjamin Britten - The turn of the screw - be scared, be very scared... The film The Others has nothing on this. It also deviates from what my mother terms the operatic cliche of 'boy meets girl, falls in love, loses girl, kills himself, girl returns finds boy, kills herself' (or some varitaion on this theme).

That question is hard to answer. I am into classical music since the day i was born - because my whole family are musicians. Growing up in such a family drove me to love the classical music in general and not some particular composers. I always listened to my mom practicing piano (how can you not listen to it - it's loud ) practicing stuff for concerts she played back at that time, my older brother practiced clarinet for like 5 hours each day, and i was going to theater 3 times a week since i was 3 years old! Pretty good, ha?
I really don't know which are my favorite because i simply love classical music stuff!! It's like having 2 guitars of the same brand and model and answer the question: "Which one do you like most?" - they are both awesome! So is for me in classical music! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Hey!! I'm late! Well.. you had lots of recomendations and excelent answers... So check that compositions. I love many of them and I'm still discovering some of them. Every period had great music composers.
I suggest you to listen the following composers. Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy, Stravinsky, Wagner, Schoenberg, Berg. You could follow the classical harmonic/musical evolution if you listen in this order (from consonance to disonance). Gabriel.- -------------------- My lessons
