Hammer Floyd posted:Hey all I noticed we didn't have a thread about Classical music. This surprised me as I thought one would be going. The problem is that we keep having them (I know, having started one myself) and they keep falling into archive status after a page or two of interest. However, a good place to start with classical music is Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 (I prefer 2000 myself but both are good). Respighi, Pines of Rome: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCryf6nruD_I&h=7c3ce Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dp-gP6KFPEKA%26feature%3Drelated&h=7c3ce Stravinsky, Firebird: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3FWq17CT6Cs&h=7c3ce However, if you're looking for more stuff along the lines of Mozart's requiem (which is, in fact, Classical), then where better to start than with Mozart's other big hits? Overture to the Marriage of Figaro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikQNFqVkNNc Symphony 40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZD9nt_wsY0 How about some essential Beethoven? Symphony 5 I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1hI (as my music history professor always said, this is "only the most famous piece in the big fat world") III http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9xbj4XyQqw&feature=fvsr IV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAyUzxDB9eE&feature=related And now that I've shared a bunch of pieces you will probably recognize, here's a good one that is less well known, from one of the first true Romantic composers: Berlioz, Symphony Fantastique IV March to the Scaffold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwCuFaq2L3U by the by, Bach is Baroque

The Dark Wind posted:Can anyone give me some good jumping off points for Brahms? I feel like he's always been a giant void in my knowledge of classical music. The only works that I can remember coming back to are his 4th Symphony and some of his latter piano pieces like Op. 119. What chamber works are considered essential listening? What Piano Concerto would be the best to start off with? Thanks guys! Certainly all four symphonies, especially the 3rd, as well as the german requiem, which has been mentioned.
