Classical Music

24 Préludes, Op. 28: No. 15. In D-Flat Major ("Raindrop") by Chopin is fucking EPIC. I'm a hard rock lover and in its own way, to me it is hard rock, just classical

Discuss some exact tracks by classical artists that you like and perhaps some of us will cross download.

I don't know any titles.

All I know is my friend had a Bach CD in his truck, and that truck had a good sound system. We headbanged. It was glorious.

The Four Seasons by Vivaldi is always good.

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (amongst other works by him)
Mussorgsky- Pictures at an Exhibition (also performed interestingly by Emerson Lake and Palmer)

As a classical guitar enthusiast (I intend to study it at university, I'm preparing my audition now) I have many favourite pieces.
Bach's Chaconne in D Minor for Violin (Arranged for guitar by Segovia)
Part 2

Sor's 'Variations on a Theme by Mozart'

Giuliani's 'Variations on a Theme by Handel' (One of my audition pieces)
And the piece which the previous one is derived from, Handel's 'The Harmonious Blacksmith'

In terms of orchestral stuff, this is a favourite of mine:
Giuliani's 'Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra' (Part 1, there are 3 others)

And possibly the most evil sounding piece of music ever:
Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue' for Organ

And many others, but I doubt anyone will watch them.

If you want more contemporary stuff I highly suggest music by Eric Whitacre, movements like Sleep, Lux Aurumque, Cloudburst, and October are really great...you should also look up O Magnum Mysterium performed by the Chanticleer Choir, good stuff.

In no particular order, I like Bolero, by Ravel; Requiem, Pachebels Cannon (duh) by Mozart. And a bunch of others, obviously.
Oh, In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg.

As far as the classical style goes, my favorite composer is Nobuo Uematsu.

Oh, oops the mozart was supposed to come after the 'requiem'.

And it's Pachelbel, not Pachebel, aparently.
