msj Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 It changes from time to time. Right now, Beethoven's third symphony. Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

kimmy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Amusingly, when viewed from the main page, the thread title appears as "Do you have a favorite pie..." I like cherry. As for classical music, there is a lot that I love. Some of my favorites: "The Fingal's Cave Overture" by Mendelssohn "Hall Of The Mountain King" by Grieg (currently listening to a crazy heavy metal version!) "Dance Macabre" by Saint-Saens "Ride Of The Valkyries" by Wagner I have an MP3 of some portion of Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" that I like. It sounds like a prelude, followed by "Montagues and Capulets" followed by some sort of flute fantasy. it's very nice. I used to like Night on Bald Mountain after I saw Fantasia, but the stupid disco version ruined it for me for all time :angry: -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
Jack Weber Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Edvard Grieg is very underrated.... Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Sir Bandelot Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 There's a lot that I like as well, hard to pick a one-time fave. But as you mention "classical", it would have to be Beethoven Symphony 9. Quote

kimmy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Ever see The Competition with Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss? Hadn't seen it, wasn't aware of the film... really didn't care for the music at all. Like a Les Claypool bass exhibition: technically amazing, but to little musical effect. It's overly busy, often discordant, and... just sounds like a jumble of notes to my ears. Musically, it's pretty much the opposite of the ones I listed, which are very melodic and "clean" sounding. By the way, add "Moonlight Sonata" to my list. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Both performances were, however, overdubed with other pianists in the end cut. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

And it certainly does look like a difficult thing to play. But ... ugh, wouldn't listen to it again. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

August1991 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) As for classical music, there is a lot that I love.I agree. I have several.Ever see The Competition with Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss?Wonderful movie!----- Since this is a standard question, I will offer standard answers. (And not mention Tchaikowski!) My first choice would be Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (KV622): This musical piece has always intrigued me. Mozart was "older" when he composed it; he died the same year. It is hard not to hear him ask about life in a way that it is 20st century modern, existential. (Listen to the Clarinette ask about life and then hear the orchestra answer "there is nothing to worry about.") Edited March 5, 2011 by August1991 Quote
August1991 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) I also like Beethoven's 7th Symphony, even the funeral movement, but in particular the 4th movement. It is truly a celebration of life. (Beethoven's 7th was like Apollo 8; the genuine discovery.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqZ2ydnzKC8 Edited March 5, 2011 by August1991 Quote
jefferiah Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I don't have a favourite. But there's certain ones I never tire of. Here's one I love on the mp3 player while I walk. The 1st movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 5. It's long, so the whole movement is separated into two youtube clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLi4QGRwOPc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsHE7u6gUbo&feature=related Quote "Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it."

DogOnPorch Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Wonderful movie! Yes...it was oddly enchanting. A New York tale. ----- Since this is a standard question, I will offer standard answers. (And not mention Tchaikowski!) My first choice would be Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (KV622): This musical piece has always intrigued me. Mozart was "older" when he composed it; he died the same year. It is hard not to hear him ask about life in a way that it is 20st century modern, existential. (Listen to the Clarinette ask about life and then hear the orchestra answer "there is nothing to worry about.") I love most of Mozart's various concertos. And everybody has been exposed to Bach's Brandenburg works...and probaby Tchaikovsky's #1 Piano Concerto, 1812, etc. The classical hit list. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
