Suggestion of classical pieces

Recommended Posts

Been listening to Metallica's S&M lately and found that i like the fast and aggressive sounds of the orchestra. By any chance anyone knows who can i listen to either album or composer that plays fast and aggresive, minus the distortion.

One thing you will notice is that you will recognise the above classical pieces. However, personal suggestion, if you are starting out with Classical, try a wider range. Don't limit yourself to only large classical pieces...try some more intimate chamber etc.. Also, many Classical pieces includes slow and fast movements...

 

Some other suggestions for Classical noobs:

1) Vivaldi - 4 Seasons Violin Concerto...

2) Rachmaninov or Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto 2 and Piano Concerto 3

3) Brahms - Double (Violin and Cello) Concerto

4) Brahms - Violin Concerto

 

The above are the more tuneful style of Classical music...to get you started..

i have a lot of classical tunes at home on LP but my dads LP player broke down couple of years ago.Maybe when i get around fiddling with LP then i might have a listen to them. Right now i guess its just a phase where i prefer classical tunes.....most likely it will phase away and come back later on. So maybe a couple of CDs for easy listening and to get rid of the itch cool.gif
