Classical Music

[Orchid]

I would love to know what your favorite classical music pieces are...



I hear the songs, but never know the names...except for Fur Elise. I love that one.

So please...tell me what you like!

do like 'march to the scaffold ' by saint saens?, sarabande by handel (anything by handel to be honest), the ashoken farewell and the prince of denmarks' march. these are some of my favourites.

Thanks so far for some of those ideas!

Anyone else?

The Magic Flute by Mozart is one of my favorites. I also love the Brandenburg concertos by Bach. Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is really awesome,as well. My son loves the music from Fantasia, especially Toccata and Fugue in D minor, by Bach. Hope you like these, too.

Schumann, Symphony # 4
Schubert, Symphony # 5, and # 8, "The Unfinished"
Mozart, Symphony # 29, # 35, # 38
Mozart, Piano Concertos, 17, 19, and 20

--A few of my favorites

I also have to add that the orchestra commissioned to perform the piece is going to have an immense impact on how it "feels". I have several recordings of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", for instance, and only one really grabs me and takes me somewhere. The others are just bland recordings to me. It's all about personal style and interpretation when performing music and listening to it.
