Faust Symphony, nice pull.

Impossible to pick a favorite, but for giggles let's say Schubert's Cello Quintet, D. 956

Felix Mendelssohn
The Italian Symphony
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yD764W-fOUw

>>745279591
neat, I played this on my radio show this past Tuesday. this recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ka-BIu1ePg

>>745279591
also Mendelssohn is a great choice. The Octet is great, as is Elijah, the overtures, the Songs Without Words, and the violin concerto

>>745279222
I'm not much into classical, but I love Bach's work and especially Badinerie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv40mcAM1ZA

>>745279658
Bitchin, I have a record of it in a three record Mendelssohn's best set, it's very cheery.

>>745279825
are you familiar with the octet? I like this recording with the Kodaly and Auer quartets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruuc6udUeC8

Fucking god damn, yes.
Devy is great, but in all honesty, some of the orchestral work on Deconstruction is simply amazing

i know vivaldi is really repetitive and he uses the same kind of progression over and over but i just like the tempo of his works and yes the beginning is always the best part of his pieces but they are still a good listen

especially if you are in a rush

How that is not some terrifying country's national anthem I'll never know.

O Hungary, when will you get your shit together?

>>745280287
My favorite is his 2nd... that well paced opening measure and WHOOSH and we're off!

>>745281833
hehe :DDDDDD

>>745279222
My fellow Lisztfag. He is definitely my favorite romantic composer. I think I like Rachmaninoff better though. His piano concerto number 1 is the most exciting piece I've listened to, because it starts so strong and keeps the energy for the whole peice.

>>745281977
thank you for not posting the gymnopedies

>inb4 some anon pretends to love Wagner

>>745279222
Brahms, Symphonies 1 and 2 are marvelous.

Also, Shostakovich 5 and 7.

>>745282653
You know, gymnopedies are great and all, but man hollywood sure gphas been getting their mileage out of them for a while now. Wish they'd give it a rest. Kind of destroys the effect of them, hearing them all the time.

>>745279222
Barber, Adagio for Strings

>>745282898
oh man, I forgot Brahms. all four symphonies are incredible. Kleiber's recording of the 4th is one of the all time great classical recordings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ0r5urAl0k

I played that on the radio not too long ago as well

>>745279222
Maurice Ravel

Daphne & Chloe. all of it. Sci-fi/fantasy/Greek mythology ballet explosif melodrame.

>>745279222
1. The only real answer is Bach
2. I'm going to say little fugue and I don't give a fuck about whatever y'all have to say about that faggots

>>745279824
Also his b minor mass is unparalleled
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enLdFt9D2n8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxjwkTvJa9s
>>745280287
I like his earlier piano music such as his 6 Moments Musicaux and this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiDtLscGnn8
>>745281926
Speaking of Schnittke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE3aLhNq5G8
>>745282898
Shostakovich is pretty cool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tZ1hgmkUfI
>>745282985
Barber provided wind players with a legitimately great quintet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FoDpIIP1Bc

>>745283027
The Brahms piano concerto has such a beautiful conclusion that I find myself listening to it just for those last 5 minutes. He was a brilliant composer.

>>745283027
Where's your radio station?

>>745282821
only the ring cycle, to be honest. I own audio recordings of Solti, Karajan, Janowski, Keilberth, Goodall, and Bohm, and the most recent Met production with Levine/Luisi

>>745282985
First think I learned how to play on the piano.

Used to practice it on a big grand in the clubhouse where I worked on Marco Ilsand as a security guard in the middle of the night. I wonder if it's still standing...

That giant piano made everything sound fabulous, but barbers adagio probably even made the dolphins off shore want to commit suicide.

>>745281977
Here is every recording of Gymnopedies , simultaneously, stretched to the length of the longest recording.
https://disquiet.com/2016/01/15/brendan-landis-satie-gymnopedie-hey-exit/

>>745283213
I have Solti doing Beethovens 9th & Fidelio, and they're on period instruments with gut strings and whatnot. They're great, and really punchy.

>>745283079
agreed. recommended recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSgSiImCxbo

>>745283125
the B minor mass is one of the greatest compositions of all time. a number of great recordings to choose from. I have Gardiner's.

>>745283165
central virginia. I'm on one day a week for three hours, in the morning. I'd love to pick up new listeners, but if I gave away my name I'm sure the internet would find a way to ruin my life, hah. but it's a cool volunteer gig, and I can play almost anything I want, as long as it's relatively tonal

>>745280370

>>745283619
LSO: D&C

Thank you anon, I haven't heard this one!

>>745283619
Lolol, you should totally play Berg's Violin concerto just to fuck with your listeners a little bit. Because it's beethoven chorales and shit interspersed with wacky Schoenberg melodies.

>>745283618
interesting, I'm not familiar. I'll check it out. endless great recordings of the symphonies. Hogwood's cycle on period instruments is enjoyable. Fricsay and Karajan both have reference recordings of the 9th (karajan recorded the cycle 4 times I think, but I think it's the 1963 one that's considered the best)

>>745283748
yeah man, enjoy. the bbc ranked this 35th on their list of top 50 classical recordings of all time: http://www.classical-music.com/article/50-greatest-recordings-all-time

>>745283794
one of the morning hosts played Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time and we had people call in complaining, haha

Beethoven's 4th is very underrated, the second movement is possibly Beethoven's prettiest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgni7AzF-fI

Schoenberg's 12 tone music is very divisive, but his romantic stuff is unbelievable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-pVz2LTakM
But even some atonal stuff is pretty fun and groovy. Its possible its more fun to perform than listen to though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxlw40Cqd30

>>745280199
He wrote some great bassoon concerti
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Udfqbvi-U

>>745283924
Oh, that's a damn shame. That's the most out piece you've played?

>>745284059
Dude, I love Schoenberg more than anything. His Funfstucke fur Orchester is ridiculous. I rarely gasp with excitement the first listening of a classical piece.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9OBf8f55tU

The New World Symphony by Antonin Dvorak gets me harder then anything. The last movement of it especially.
Holy fuck just listening to it again to post is giving me chills all over.

>>745284069
tbh I'm not sure what the most difficult piece would be that a morning host has played. honestly I'm probably the most conservative of the morning hosts, which is partially my own taste but also out of respect for the people we get tuning in.

most out there stuff I play is generally some Strauss tone poems (Ein Heldenleben, Don Juan, Till Eulenspiegel)

>>745280085
yeah, i saw a brief "making of" video, and i couldn't place all that orchestral work in "poltergeist", but seeing Devy at the desk with a frown of intense concentration reminded me of pics of Beethoven.

it's weird, either people have never heard of Devin Townsend or they're fanatical enthusiasts.

>>745284220
also a good choice. Kubelik is a great reference recording, though I also like Bernstein

*tiny voice* Hayden's Magnificat in G major

when i was very young i was drafted into the Australian Boy's Choir and we used to sing this. there are only a couple of instances on youtube and they're all shit. it's a fantastic song if it's sung properly.

>>745284479
you poor guys get the Tuba Mirum from Mozart's Requiem and the Bolero and that's about it. but seriously, Strauss is great. I've played a few others but I can't remember right now.

not a ton of Berlioz -- I'm always on the lookout for more that I could play. Symphonie Fantastique, the Roman Carnival Overture, the march from Damnation of Faust, and that might be it honestly

Bartok!

>>745284767
And basically all of Wagner lol. You'd be surprised actually; fewer and fewer orchestras these days ask for tuba mirum for principal trombone auditions. They're more interested in the alto work in kyrie.

That's all you really need with Berlioz lol.

>>745283924
Wow. Thanks for the rec! I've been listening to the piece for about 25 years and I'm always surprised if I go a while without hearing it, how much my memory tightens up the crescendos and lets other parts breathe, while my actual recordings are nowhere near as brilliant as my imagination. This is off to a great start!

>>745283805
Oh excellente, adding those to my list too... thx!

>>745285151
cool man, glad you're enjoying it! i'm happy!

>>745285275
there's a recent cycle on Brilliant Classics with Blomstedt and the Staatskapelle Dresden that's good. but for standalone recommendations, Kleiber's 5th is the all time great (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKcAAA1O2sc) and Bohm's 6th is very nice. I like Bernstein for the 3rd. Don't have strong recommendations on the others.

I can't really decide on a single favorite, but here's one.
>J.S. Bach
>Goldberg Variations, especially Gould's 1981 recording

I first heard that in 2013 when I was a teenager at Interlochen. It's stuck with me ever since.

I mean, I know he didnt write that but I dont think the favorite composer and favorite piece have to be related? If so, Concerto in f is my favorite of his.
