Recomend a classical music "mix tape"

[michaels]

Every since Amadeus took over as my fav movie, I have became interested in classical music. What would be some to check out? I don't like opera

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Yeah, they're right next to the Rap instrumentals.

Kill the waaabbit, kill the waaabit!

But you said you don't like opera, so no Der Ring des Nibelungen for j00!

You can find such collections pre-made in record stores.

Or you can take it in progressive steps. If you liked Mozart, try more of his works. Check the details of the soundtrack, look up what you liked, and listen to more of his material from the same periods / collections / ensembles.

To back up a bit historically, try e.g.:

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos
Handel: Water Music

I don't know why, but La Primavera really grates my nerves now.
