Recommend some classical music for me

[murphy55d]

Title says it all.

Pachelbel's Cannon in D Major and O Fortuna is all I have right now. What else is really good?

 

[PatboyX]

hungarian rhapsody #2
pablo casals bach cello suites
and, of course, the 4rth of the 9th.

(im just tossing out pieces that are also very familiar and popular as the ones you have already)

 

[edro]

Fur Elise. Of course, the cellualr phone industry has made that synonymous with "asshat". Still good though.

Amen to that. Love the Tchaikovsky piano concerto. Also try the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major, and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor.

Yes Holst's - The Planets is awsome

heres a comment on one of the movements called "Mars the bringer of war"

"""The full horror of mechanized warfare confronts us face to face in this bleakest of all tone poems. Its face is unrepentant, unrelenting and merciless and it offers us no hope of redemption. Thousands of pairs of jackbooted feet parade across the landscape, scurrying to their graves. Tanks pound cities into rubble. Bullets fly and bombs fall. Airplanes swoop low overhead. How surprising it is, then, to learn that Holst completed this piece long before the opening of the First World War, before the invention of the tank, before any plane had ever been fitted out to carry bombs, before the slaughter in the trenches, before the use of poison gas.""""

id also add
Anything by Beethoven
Grieg - Peter Gynt Suite # 1
Chostakovitch symphony 7
Bach - Tocata & Fugue in D Minor - if you have a good sub you will love this

[Homerboy]

Mozart's Requiem and Beethoven's 9th.

If you dont like those 2, you dont/wont liek classical music.

One KILLER box set I have is called "Sanctus - 1000 years of sacred music" Its a 10 CD set of all the "big names" in Classical music (and osme small ones) but compiles pretty much the great, religous based classical.... its pricless in my collection.
