Erik Satie links are dope.

Into the darker/melancholy rather than the cheery brass etc

Handel's Messiah is doin alot for me right now also..

Bach - Pretty much everything. Couldn't even choose a favourite.
Haydn - The Creation
Beethoven's 7th Symphony
Stravinsky - The Rite Of Spring
Bartok - Romanian Folk Dances
Elgar - Cello Concerto

Also, everything Particle-Jim said. He clearly has excellent taste.

good thread, loads of things I need to check out...

Kronos Quartet are amazing, check the Heat soundtrack for some big tunes. Also Holst's Planet suite is a classic (pure anthem vibes on Jupiter).
Naxos (massive classical label) are on Spotify now, huge library of stuff...

Me and some mates went to see Verdi's requiem performed by Sussex Symphony Orchestra a month or so ago, twas incredible, so epic (was in a massive church too).

Big up the proper oldskool scene

Sample-hunters looking for easy pickings should head straight to the female choir in 'Neptune, The Mystic'. Instant Sci-Fi atmosphere.

Albinoni - Adagio in Bminor (possibly the saddest thing ever written)

Saint Saens - Carnival of The Animals (especially the swan) & Danse Macabre

Carl Orff - Carmina Burana o Fortuna (Great Morning music)

Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain (Evil)

This:

Greatest piano player alive playing one of the hardest arrangments of one of the most complicated piano concerto's ever. Bliss. Still can't believe it's one guy on one piano.

Mozart's final Requiem

+1 for everything Bach did

And also one of my favourite violin pieces, the csardas. Hungarian folk FTW!

Can't find the vid I want, but that'll do.

And an improvised impromptu perfomance that I love ^_^

and this, cliched I know, but it's heart-wrenchingly gorgeous

Fuck you Tiesto.

Oh, almost forgot about Tchaikovsky. If I had to pick one, it'd be the piano concerto #1 in B flat minor.

I've been listening to Phillip Glass and Kronos quartet quite a bit this past two months or so...

I LOVE this one in particular

Flawless. Love Lizst.
Did you check out Volodos' arrangement of the Hungarian Rhapsody in my post? Also flawless, best version I've ever heard. Lang Lang murders it IMO.

Not really classical music per se, but it's still beautiful.

Part is worthy of deification, his choral works are the bomb yo. Comedown central.

Janacek is a don when it comes to Organs and fanfares and shit

'Degenerate' music (apparently)

Straight up soul penetrating

Pi-Krust · Post by **Pi-Krust** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:59 am

Massively into choral music,especially Russian stuff

Also can't believe no one's mentioned Steve Reich yet[my bad if he has been]

or Xenakis
Finally the best Kraftwerk cover ever
