Classical Music

Along with the copious amounts of alt. rock and such I listen to, I also spend lots of my time around classical music. Maybe playing cello has something to do with it, but I love listening to classical as much as my usual fare of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and so on. So here are some favorites:

Cello Concerto in E-Minor - Elgar
Just about anything by Shostakovich
Romeo and Juliet - Prokofiev
Beethoven's 7th Symphony
Swan Lake

There is a really cool song called "Day of Tears" by Lacrimosa.

I like Mozart's "O' Fortuna" and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". I like the really dark pianos.

favourites:
Smetana - Ma Vlast
Shostakovitch - any
Charles Ives - 3 places in New England
Schoenberg - Verklarte Nacht
Zappa - The Yellow Shark

that's in order of increasing disorder

generally, Eastern European or Russian and music that flirts with melody but sometimes just goes crazy ... I am currently experimenting with Stockhausen and want to try Edgar Varese because Zappa liked him.

opera I haven't really got into, though "Nixon in China" by John Adams is ok

Apeman - SWEET! I was just going to say that I have been on a John Adams kick for about 4 months. He is my favorite living composer, bar none! Check out Harmonielehre or Grand Pianola Music. It is particularly great for driving on road trips...

You guys are impressing me with your interests - shoenberg and smetana? Pretty cool!

Prokofiev has always been a favorite for me, particularly Alexander Nevsky and Romeo and Juliet, Suites 1-3.

i've always liked calssical( as well as alot of other genres). i guess it comes from playing in the school band.
the bad thing is i know very few of the names of the pieces i like.

when crap is on the radio, i put on my local npr station that plays classical all day, i like alot, but never know what they are.

i like the obvious, mozart, beethoven, bach, but lately, ive gotten into a strauss cd. he wrote great waltzes, even tho i can't dance

I don't listen to a lot of classical, but one I love is the aria 'La Wally' by Wilhelmenia Fernandez from the French film "Diva". Sublime stuff that will make your hairs stand on end. The film is pretty cool, too!

I enjoy classical a lot. A few of my favorites are.

Canon - Pachelbel
The Arrival of Queen Sheba - Handel
Ronda Alla Turca - Mozart
The Four Seasons - Vivaldi

Edit:

How could I forget Mandoline Concerto - Vivaldi and Bizet, Carmen - Les Troubadours.

Toru Takemitsu is my favorite classical composer, though he's definitely not your typical type of classical music; it's very modernist, and features some interesting Eastern instrumentation at times.

I also enjoy Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and Debussy.

My favorite classical composer is Vaughan Williams. Here are a few of my favorites:

5th Symphony (especially the Romanza)

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis ( apart from Fantasia on Greensleaves, maybe his best know piece )

6th Symphony ( Related to the 4th but kinda weirder, almost as disturbing)

4th Symphony ( This is really powerful stuff....very disturbing)
