Suggestions for classical music plz

[The_678]

I've always loved the classical music and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any good scores. I like most classical, but my favourites are Mozart, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky. Just to give you an idea of what type I like My favourite scores are Requiem by Mozart and A Night on Bare Mountain by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky. Feel free to suggest anything you know and like though. I don't have too much and feel like getting more.

I suggest Beethoven's 7th Symphony...
I might also advise Verdi's operas, especially La Traviata...
Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture is a jaunty piece, also...
Strauss's Waltzes, the Emperor's Waltz especially, are fantastic.

i would reccomend a lot of Beethoven, i dont know if you count Gershwin as classical, but hes ace anyway,

[Reverend Joe]

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother.

Seriously. Try it.

[LeftEyeNine]

Rachmaninoff, I say.

[Fragony]

Some of my favorites

Reqieum from Brahms (very dark!)
Sixtets(sp) from Brahms
Prokovievs Romeo&Juliet
Raffael (have to look up the actual piece, AWESOME mix of western and gypsie)

If you like piano,

Anything from Chopin and the 'Gnossienes' from Sati.

Classical music that is perfect background music while playing Total war games:
- Symphony 9 (part 4) by Dvorak
- Slavic march by Tchaikovsky
- Funeral march by Chopin (the orchestrated version, can't recall who did the orchestration though)
- Piano concert no. 2, Symphonic dance no. 1 and "Isle of the dead" by Rachmaninov
- Symphonies 7 & 9 by Beethoven
- Night on a bare mountain by Mussorgsky
- Kullervo (part 1,2&4) by Sibelius
- Carmina Burana (first part) by Orff
...those are all I can think of now...

Rachmaninoff, I say.

Good taste :2thumbsup:

[Banquo's Ghost]

Practically anything by J.S. Bach, Vivaldi's Cello Concertos, Albinoni's Adagio, and try the sublime Miserere by Allegri to get a feel of renaissance church music.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother.

Seriously. Try it.

...not gonna comment. Yes, it has an orchestra. That's about it. :dizzy2:

I'd also recommend some Schubert.

Beethoven's 9th has the most depth and sheer brilliancy of anything, classical or otherwise.

Thanks for all the replies guys. It's funny and cool how the only Beethoven mentioned is the two symphonies I happen to already have.
