Some good classical music?


anyone know any good songs or artist?

get some songs from the soundtracks of pride and prejudice or phantom of the opera.
you could always listen to beethoven and bach cd's.

For me, Handel's Water Music.

I've always liked pachelbel

I love Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, Bach and Tchaikovsky. Liszt was a piano man, as was Chopin. Beethoven has very inspiring music, while Bach is more technical. Tchaikovsky is very flowing and romantic. You could check cd's from the library. I reccomend "The Pianist" soundtrack, for Chopin, Hungarian Rhapsody and Liebstrum for Liszt. Another fun way to expience classical music is through Disney's "Fantasia" movies.

Try Bach's solo suites works violin and cello.

Also Fernando Sor ; he composed for the guitar.

Beethoven's violin concerto

All these can be seen on youtube. In classical music they are called "pieces" , not songs.

Listen to Mozart

if you're in or near a big city with a musical heritage, look for the free concerts. i've found some of my favorite pieces at them. i heard albinoni's adagio for organ and strings for the first time in a historic espiscopal cathedral and it knocked my socks off. the first time i heard holst's planets complete was at the st louis philharmonic, and they performed the female voice part on their instruments. it was on of the most stunning concert experiences of my life, and all it cost me was driving across town. they never did reveal how they did it, but these very realistic voices emanated from the stage as if out of thin air. if you're not sure how to find them [we don't have an arts calendar in the newspaper anymore], start with a college music department and watch for flyers.

if your town doesn't have a strong base of musicians, go to the music store and look for the themed compilation albums. pick one with a theme that appeals to you, and explore other works by the composers you like. i've never explored internet radio, but i'd think that would be a good place to browse for things you like.

don't be afraid of the unknown, i subscribe to the symphony now, and it's often the concerts i'm not looking forward to that i remember the most.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

It depends on the mood you want to get by listening to it: there is some truly depressing but really beautiful ones like Luciaa di Lammermoor(you surely heard it in the fifth element), Saint- Sa毛ns "the Swan", Sibelius "valse triste", most of chopin's nocturnes,Puccini's "Madame butterfly" or the all-time classic, beethoven's "f眉r elise" There are some more joyful ones like Pachelbel's "Canon in D", Shostakovich's "Romande the Gafly", or you could opt for vivaldi's "four seasons" of which i prefer summer. Then there are some more chaotic ones like verdi's and mozart's requiems, beethoven's fifth and ninth symphonies, Orff's "Carmina Burana" Tchaikovsky's "Overture 1812". Of him some very good ones are "Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake" (I also really like his serenade for strings in c major).
If you'd prefer something with a more nationalist spirit you could try " A night on Bald mountain" with russian stuff which i personally dont like very much but perhaps you would, Moncayo's "huapango" which is a mexican exquisite piece, anything of Andres Segovia (spanish) or perhaps Eric Satie (french). ALso one of my favorites, Ravel's "Bolero"

You really mean classical music? Because you ask for songs and artists?This sounds like you wanna hear some pop.
My favorite classical music:
New World Symphony by Dvorak
Peer Gynt Suites by Edvard Grieg
A Midsummernightsdream by Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Composers like Mozart, Verdi, Bizet.
There is so much beautiful music. Just start listening.
Or find a cd with highlights from symphonies or concertos. And great famous arias from operettas or opera's .
Start listening.
