The Greatest Classical Music

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:12:33 +0000

I use the term “Classical” lightly here.

Here are 18 extracts from what I think are some ofthe most exciting, spine tingling orchestral pieces ever. A lot is left out of this list – Beethoven’s Ninth, for one. The pieces are (in no particular order):

1. Verdi – Messa da Requiem – Dies Irae, Dies Illa
2. Verdi – Messa da Requiem – Tuba Mirum
3. Bizet – Carmen – Procession of the Toreadors
4. Beethoven – Symphony No. 5 – Allegro con Brio
5. Prokofiev – Montagues and Capulets
6. Orff – Carmina Burana
7. Copland – Fanfare for the Common Man
8. Sandstrom – Motorbike Concerto – Introduction
9. Schoenberg – Chamber Symphony No. 1 (Finale)
10. Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring – Dances of the Young Girls
11. Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring – Glorification of the Chosen One
12. Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring – Sacrificial Dance
13. Borodin – Prince Igor – Polovtsian Dances
14. Parry – I Was Glad – Fanfare
15. Mussorgsky – Night on a Bare Mountain
16. Wagner – Ride of the Valkyries
17. Dvorak – Symphony No. 9 (From The New World) – Allegro con Fuoco
18. Rossini – William Tell – Overture (Fanfare)

In there are some old favourites but also many new pieces you probably won’t have heard …

(If you really want to enjoy this music, play it through speakers and whack the bass up high. Most of them feature drums and timpani!)

The music of Bertali – Chamber sonatas

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:47:19 +0000

Classical music for your day.

Off to the baroque we go! And a pretty early baroque at that too.

Here are three pieces by Bertali. Born in Verona, he was an Italian composer and wrote a fair amount of operas, chamber music and liturgical works. Apparently (from Wikipedia), half of his works are lost unfortunatly.

I hope you enjoy!

Antonio Bertali – (1605-1669)

1)Sonata S: Placidi a 14 – 3′10″
2)Sonata S: Leopoldi a 15 – 3′09″
3)Sonata a 8 due cori – 3′21″

performed by: Musica Fiata with Roland Wilson
label: CPO
