I try to update the music weekly or biweekly, depending on if I've got new stuff I'm eager to throw onto the site. I put music up there so people can listen to it while they browse through my pro map page, but so many people forget/don't know that the music exists =) | ||

It's Beethoven's 9th u idiot. Which is a shame to be even mentioned on the same page with you, being my all-time favourite music ever. Closely followed by Pachelbel's Canon and Bach's "Air on a G-string". Basically Beethoven pretty much owns the place, even tho there are lotsa people who'd say Mozart is king, there's just not enough power in his music for my liking. -Mynock | ||

 All have art songs.Tchaikovskys "1 1 Bbm Op23 Allegro non troppo e molto masestoso Allegro con spirito" is pretty good :D I dunno how it really goes, I just have it as mp3 in that form. It's quite long. To be more specific, I love all kinda classical music with strength and speed if you know what i mean, possibly mighty choir singing in the background too. Perhaps these are the reasons I like melodic metal too. These too have incredibly much incommon. | ||

Anyway (heh) I like Pachelbel-Canon Satie-Gymnopedie(sp) Beethoven-ALL Bach Profokiev And lots more. Mynock hit the nail on the head when he said Mozart's stuff lacks power-or what I like to call, passion. His stuff seems bland to me. Beethoven on the other hand evokes emotion. Does anyone know who wrote Carmina Barana? The name escapes me. It is possibly the most haunting piece of music I have ever listened to. Does anyone feel the same? Everytime the song comes up on my cd I get shivers. | ||

[B] ha, ok collection but one thing is .. pollini and chopin etudes.. clearly shows you dont really know about playing the piano. what he does is just cruel, i guess anyone who plays at a high lvl recognizes that pollini's touch (there are even ppl who think he doesnt know what touch is  ) is just out of place for those etudes, i like his preludes and polonaises but what he does for example to op25No1 is just painful to listen to.??? Are you retarded?? You REALLY have no idea what you are talking about! Pollini's touch...ha! I refer to the recording of the complete Chopin Etudes in 1972 for Deutsche Grammophon. It is simply the reference, and btw, if you don't believe me, read the critics! Pollini's perfomance is simply staggering, I don't think it can ever be surpassed. His stunningly virtuosic technique cannot be matched (perhaps, if Lipatti was still alive). However, technique alone is not sufficient enough to play these etudes well. Also necessary is incredible musicianship, which Pollini shows he has in abundance. There is no Chopin player alive who plays these pieces quite as poetically as does Pollini. Too often you hear Chopin played as if it were Beethoven with power and feeling but without poetry and lyricism. Not with Pollini! His technique and musicianship allow him to play the etudes flawlessly as well as poetically, like Chopin intended. A few of several examples for his poetic skills are op. 12, Nr. 3 or op. 25, Nr.2; for his technical skills the revolutionary etude op 12, Nr. 12! This recording has become legendary - and with good reasons. Nobody, who has only a slight idea of what music is about would doubt that! So S T F U ! | ||

 you prolly dont even have an idea what /where the difficulty is of those pieces. if you don't play the piano well enough to play those pieces, your ability to judge recordings is very limited | ||

Beethoven: My personal favorite I have all his compositions, but my true beloved ones:Symphonies 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th Piano Concerto #5 Piano sonatas, pastoral, appasionatta, patetique, moonlgiht and his last one #32 Piano - violin sonatas: kreutzer, spring Strings trios and cuartets, most of them are really gosu and can make you cry Mozart: 2nd favorite. Almost everything, the dude was too gosu Requiem, Symphonies 35,39,40,41, Sonatas, Operas, Concertos, just as this Amadeus movie said "it seems like God speaks through him" Bach: I know he's good but I really don't like barroque music. only like tocatta and fugue, and brandembourg concerts pd honorable mention to Walt Disney's Fantasia version of Toccata and Fugue Vivaldi: Same as bach, don't like barroque. Nulla in mundo pax sincera (from "Shine" soundtrack) Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos #2 and #3. Rhapsody on a Pagannini Theme Grieg: Peer Gynt Wagner: Nibelung Tethralogy. Listz: Most piano sonatas, specially piano rhapsody #2 (the tom and jerry song) Chopin: Everything. The dude was too gosu with a fucking piano All etudes, all nocturnes, waltzes, scherzos, poloneses, and Piano Concertos #1 and #2. Rossini: Overtures of Barber of Sevilla, Thiegfing Magpie, and William Tell Ponchielli: Dance of the hours Tchaikovsky: Piano Conceto #1, symphony 1812, sleeping beauty, romeo and juliet, the nutcracker Mussorgski: a night on a bald mountain (I know it sounds strange but it's pretty known, and I'm sure you'll recognize it if you download it) Alexander Borodin: Prince Igor - Polovetsian dances (same as moussorgski, go download it and you'll recognize it). others.. canon, hallelujah, water music, flight of the bumble bee and some adagio of some italian barroque dude i can't remember now Composers i don't like -though I admit they're good: don't really like barroque music, verdi, haydn, prokokiev, stravinsky, most italian composers -kinda agree with mozart there-, and carmina burana (kinda newbie). | ||

Though I believe the entire requiem from the beginning to the lacrimosa is awesome, and I like the lacrimosa part the less. | ||

JS Bach (don't know well): Keyboard Concerto in D Minor BWV 1052 Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Art of the Fugue Goldberg Variations (Glen Gould recording) Handel(don't know well): Messiah Water music Mozart (don't know well): Requiem mass 40th symphony Beethoven: Violin Concerto (must listen) Piano Concertos 2 and 3 (plenty of good recordings out there. Gilels works) All symphonies 1-7 (never heard 8 for some reason). 5 and 7 are the best. First half of 9th symphony. Moonlight sonata (preferably Rudolf Serkin or Kempff) Pathetique sonata Appassionata Tempest Sonata Egmont Overture String Quartet op. 95 in F Minor. Missing a lot of good stuff, obviously. Schubert: 9th Symphony Death and the Maiden quartet Most lieder, especially Erlkonig (better in baritone) Ave Maria Schumann(don't know well): Piano concerto Chopin: Piano Concerto #1 (the first movement is possibly the most beautiful piece of orchestral music ever written). Nocturnes (Rubinstein or Vasary) Liszt(don't know well): Hungarian rhapsody #2 Totentanz Mendelssohn(don't know well; prodigy almost like Mozart, very little unpleasant music): Violin concerto Caverns of Fingal Brahms: Violin concerto. Otherwise avoid. Rossini: Thieving Magpie Overture Barber of Seville Overture Bizet: Carmen L'Arlesienne suite Patrie overture Smetana(don't know well): The Moldau from Ma Vlast Grieg: Peer Gynt suites Piano concerto Borodin: Prince Igor Mussorgsky (don't know well): Night on bald mountain Tchaikovsky: 1st Piano Concerto (Cliburn) 4th and 6th symphonies Swan Lake Sibelius(don't know well): Violin Concerto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SvAf-QbuvQ Oistrakh, follow links for the rest. Most beautiful piece written since Chopin IMO).
