Rachmaninov.
I'd suggest Horowitz's recording of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto (with Ormandy)

IN that case get some Grieg concerto in a minor played by Lief Ove Andsnes and the Berlin Plilharmonic
It is simply divine:lips:
Seriously though, it is fvking sCIK
Bach Harpsichord and Violin Concertos
You'll find that not only is this music beautiful, it is excellent music to work to... it really causes your mind to focus. And as always my recommendations have to include the Saint Matthew Passion by Bach. All of these works add up to quite a bit of play time, and they will almost certainly earn you an appreciation for (in my opinion) the greatest composer who ever lived.

You'll have to excuse me for saying this as it is justmy opionin on Bach and not on your opinion, but I really can't stand the harsichord...it is so crass and harsh to listen to in my opinion. That said I grew up playing the violin and the piano so I was used to drawn out sostinutos and such...
still bach's violin concertos are breathtakignly chill...
Also, dont' forget the Brandenburg Concertos, Violin/Piano/Cello Sonatas, Partitias, Well Tempered Clavier, etc. Those are all excellent "work" music.
You can always find the harpsichord concertos played on piano (Glenn Gould is my preference, although he didn't record all of them). Also, harpsichord as an orchestral instrument is a much different beast from solo harpsichord. But that box set is also just convenient to buy.
I find Glenn Gould to be too romanticized though. Although that's not a bad thing, it's not representative of the style of the period.
Heh, I didn't want to go for overload. The keyboard/violin concertos also strike me as easier music to "get into" Bach with. They generally have more accesible and obvious melodies, certainly as opposed to the Goldberg Variations, Cello Suites, and Violin Sonatas/Partitas. The Brandenburg Concertos are also good Bach starter music though.
Lsiten to heifetz playing Sibelius..or shostokovich....
these masters are the students and aires to the thrown of bach
They had the freedom abition and character to delve into the dark stuff that bach never ventured into becuase of his time period and it is fvkign scary to see how good their stuff is.
In one instance the piece might start out a a light and innocent melody, but oh now, shosta wouldn't leave it at that nor would sibelius. They write really deep music that jsut makes the hair on my arms stand up on end...
*runs away in the midst of a jubilant orgasm to grab and start playing his sibelius stuff*
:thumbsup:
I also like the first and second as well as the third, but the fourth isn't quite as good as the others IMHO (this is probably just a personal preference thing anyway, I'm no music expert). The Brahms piano concerto #2 is great as well, and of course Grieg's concerto in A minor seems to be somewhat well known, not to mention good.

Liek I said, get the version with Lief ans. NPR ahd a very favorable review, and ocne I heard it for myself I knew why. He is an EXCELLENT pianist...
Heh, it's funny that you should say that, he certainly didn't start out that way, other than the fact that he was playing on an almost intrinsically romantic instrument (piano). He describes much of his early work as a struggle to evoke the spirit of the harpsichord on the piano, but his later work (1981 Goldberg in particular) certainly seems to deviate from that.
