No Classical Music Fans?
-
Thanks cannonmc, I've still got a long way to go till I reach my goals.
I love that youtube has become the site it has with incredible performances by the greats as well as some amazing "amateurs" as well as a place to find rarities like the one you posted. Have you come across the channel called Unsungmasterworks which is also about rarely played or unknown works by composers who are not famous today.
-
No, I hadn't come across that channel bbut I have now. Looks like some interesting stuff there. I shall be downloading some of those. Thanks for the tip.
And you know what the cab driver said when he was asked how to get to Carnegie Hall, 'Practice, practice'
PS Have you tried any Zdenek Fibich Symphonies - they are good. Right now I'm listening to Richard Wetz who I've never heard of
-
I hadn't heard any of his symphonies but I had heard/played one of his miniatures. Also while I like finding obscure and neglected works I have to say I love to listen to the famous masterworks as well. My phone has Mahler 3 and 5 on it at the moment as well as Shostakovich Piano Concerto no. 2 and Tchaikovsky Symphony no. 6. Also some Beethoven Piano sonatas and the Missa Solemnis. That's it music-wise most of the other stuff on my phone is spoken word. Also I haven't been on GayHeaven in ages but they had a pretty good classical music sticky in one of the forums there if you wanted to sign up to check it out.

I'm not a big fan of this style

Only if it doesn't distract the orchestra
-

mmm Bantock, haven't spent a lot of time listening to him, but nice to know he has fans

I too love classical music. I sing in a large symphonic choir and it's the most amazing feeling in the world being part of something so huge. But I also love the intimacy of chamber music. I am learning to play the clarinet and my ambition is to one day be able to play stuff like the Mozart or Brahms quintets or the Saint-Saens sonata.
I love Brahms chamber music. (Much different from chamber pot music
). The piano quintet is also very great, but anything Brahms wrote involving clarinet is delicious. Saint Saens best work is also his chamber stuff. I love Faure's contribution in the field also. I guess Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert are taken for granted ;). Also admire Schumann's trios, quartets and the quintet. Rachmaninov wrote some fine chamber works which probably don't get the recognition they are due. -
A great youtube playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-ZPKjlzZw
This is an amazing piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuJ69_DBnSU
I could go on about Scriabin, Mussorgsky, Magnard, Schumann's piano music, but I'd bore you

Thank you, some new names for me there
-
Never really got into counter tenors, although if I met one it might be different
-
Me too I love it a lot, I have arround 3000 albums all FLAC (16/44.1) & Hi-res FLAC (24-bit) that's 702GB, like 42000 tracks. I have a Sony Walkman A17 that can play flac, kudos to sony and i have ordered a portable headphone amp

I love classical music
my favourite is probably not "classical " per say
but is Delius. -
This thread is a very broad church, all are welcome. But I think Delius would fall into anyone's 'classical' definition. That is for music, not the period
-
Classical can mean different things according to context. It certainly means different things in a Greek or Roman context, or in a Carnatic or Hindustani context, for instance. As cannonmc says, Delius is certainly within the purview of what most people would consider classical music. Am actually listening to (and playing) quite a deal of Rachmaninov lately. This is my slight obsession of the moment:
But am actually listening to this piece atm :

I like classical music. I'm just getting into it now, though, really.
