Favorite Classical Composers

[Stealth]

I don't know about anyone else here but I love the Classics.

When you said classics, I thought you were talking about the period, like baroque, classical, romantic, etc.

Anyways, my list:

- Bach (but I hate masses and I don't really like cantatas; I like his harpsichord and organ works as well as the orchestral suites and the Brandenburg concertos).
- Corelli (the Concerti Grossi are beautiful, plus the violin sonatas and the trio sonatas)
- Telemann
- If I listen to his works in detail, I'm sure Mozart would become my favourite, but I need advice from my father (who loves Mozart) because there are so many works that I don't know where to start.
- Some Renaissance music, before the time of classical music, is also really nice.

Here are my favourite

Franz Liszt - Hungarian Fantasy
J.S. Bach - Mass in B Minor
Mozart - Requiem, Symphony no.25
Claude Debussy - Prelude d'apres-midi d'une faune
Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms
Bartok - Concerto for Orchestra
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (3rd movement, I'm fucking tired of the first)

*nitpicking alert! nitpicking alert!*

The Baroque period was between the Renaissance and Classical periods.



*nitpicking alert over! nitpicking alert over!*

I said before the time of classical music, not before the classical period. I know the baroque period is in between (started in the 17th century, while Renaissance music is much older). I was referring to the fact that Renaissance music came before classical MUSIC as a whole, not that it came just before the classical PERIOD.

01. Ludwig Van Beethoven

02. Antonio Lucio Vivaldi

03. Frederic Chopin

Well, hopefully there are others of you her that listen to the Classics!

ME!
I discovered the Classical a year ago and I saw what I've passed through the years!

I have any favourites:

Beethoven
What he has written is still unbelievable! The 5th is wonderful, but the most beautiful symphony he wrote is the 9th, no, has been written forever! Remember: as Beethoven has written the 9th symphony, he didn't hear anything nor can say something!!!!! the whole symphony in his head......

Vivaldi
the 4 seasons are wonderful! I still pretend that he has invented the first riff! (listen 4 season, summer's thunderstorm)

Mozart
Of Mozart I like the some piano concerts, most of them are really fast

Bach
Vivaldi
Sibelius - Finlandia is something amazing!

So would you reccomend Finlandia?
I need to save 5000 colombian pesos to buy the CD. here the classical music is cheap (the prize) but I don't have the nough money so...I have to save the money.

My fav are:
Beethoven
Mahler
Wagner
Paganini (god of violin)
Vivaldi
Dvorak (just the New world symphony, listen to it)
Rodrigo
Mozart
Rossini
Bach
Saint Saëns
Carl Orff (Carmina burana is one of the best songs I've ever heard)
