fav. classic piece ?

[ianweb123]

Debussy
Satie
Bach
Bach
Groffe
Dvorak

Just for starters..

I love nothing better than trawling the web for classical mids and then trying different plugs on the various tracks..!

[griels]

Gershwin - Summertime (the full classical version from Porgy and Bess) - spine tingling. Apparently the late lamented John Peel's most loathed song ever... Well, even musical deities can't get everything right.

Other stuff I love (amongst many others):

Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Moonlight Sonata
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings
Thomas Tallis - My End Is My Beginning And My Beginning Is My End (ancient palindromic piece of counterpoint plainsong, probably not strictly classical)
Elgar - The Enigma Variations

If you could class Steve Reich as modern classical I would also include his Electronic Counterpoint piece.

Debussy's Clare de Lune and Arabesque are also on my favourites list. And he's not remotely unsophisticated, Tristeza

I'll go for:

Purcell - Funeral Sentences/Funeral Music for Queen Mary

St. Saens - The Swan

Barber - Adagio for Strings (groan)

Philip Glass - Violin Concerto (does this count?)

Loads of electroacoustic stuff that can't really be called classical but is very much 'classical section'.

beethovens 5th makes me want to kill people
beethovens fur elise i listen to to chill after the killing.

[DavenH]

Prokofieff's Romeo and Juliet

wouldn't change a single note

[Sepheritoh]

Many great classics, but I love the previous century stuff like Holts' planets and Rodrigo's guitar concerto most.

beethovens 5th makes me want to kill people
beethovens fur elise i listen to to chill after the killing.

Not the real intention I'd guess (it being his "peace song")
