I have tried Mozart and Beethoven, and I love them (of course), as for jazz I want to try something really calm I guess and refreshing, nothing fast. When I was watching Britain's got talent, I took a liking the song Julian Smith was playing  :So please recommend me some good pieces of music if you may :D.  | ||

As far as classical goes, some of the more accessible/modern stuff is more like Frank Tichelli stuff these days. In classical you go less by specific composer and more by genre, I suppose, but if you're looking for more staples of band/orchestra literature maybe Percy Grainger or Alfred Reed. Of course, if you want the beauty of classical music without the esoteric post-modern atonal composition, check out orchestral arrangements of final fantasy tunes on youtube. | ||

as far as big bands go i would check out the Buddy Rich big band. they're very very good. and by far my favorite. and for a good trio, check out The Ray Brown Trio. also some very great jazz. the piano player Gene Harris is quite good. hope this helps edit: i agree with every suggestion made by the previous poster. they're all the originals. every modern composer is inspiried by all those artists. | ||

If you like piano especially, try Chopin. Some pieces I'd recommend other than these 2 composers: Schubert's "Ave Maria" (Hitman themesong) Strauss's "Blue Damube" (you should know it by listening to it.) Can't help much with jazz though  | ||

Relaxing Jazz: Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world (may not be your cup of tea... louis is someone who takes some getting used to) Glen Miller - midnight serenade I think you might like this better though... since its a soloist and more closely resembles the bgt thing. Christian Lindberg Anything by him is good... technically he's a virtuoso trombonist... but he plays jazzy stuff on occasion and his sound is very similar to that which you're referring to. | ||

I listen to classical periodically so I won't comment as much on it but Philip Glass has always been a favorite modern composer of mine. Metamorphasis, his soundtrack to the film "The Hours" is also fabolous, and Glasswerks is amazing. That should be a good start for ya :D Misread the op, oh well dont worry about the inaccesible stuff then. | ||

'Cause calling this shit jazz would follow nicely. Check some of the links provided above and learn what non-corporate jazz is all about. It doesn't have to be fast, just not so safe and corny. Jazz imo should be about cleverness and invention and at least some degree of peculiarity and surprise, not some soaring journey through very old boring vistas of melodrama. Ranting is fun, i hope you don't mind. If you want to explore new genres you may as well explore the new ways of looking at music which Usually go with them. emo rock? GOD NO O.O!!! I listen to stratovarius, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Disturbed, and a couple of other, as well as a bunch of K-pop, J-pop, and J-Rock. | ||

However, I do want to build up a sizeable classical collection and here are some stuff I have so far Anton Bruckner Brahms Richard Wagner Dvorak Haydn Rachmaninoff Schoenberg And some classical piano recordings of Vladimir Horowitz who performs pieces by :Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Scarlatti and Scriabin. I guess that's a pretty good mix of composers although I'm always thinking of adding more to my collection, the good thing about classical music is that there is a wide range of music to enjoy and each individual piece can be listened over and over again and each time you experience different things. Basically, the same piece of music can sound/feel different when performed by different performers/orchestras so it's good to hear multiple versions of an interesting piece so that you can find out the specific performers that you enjoy. | ||

Some more specific favorites of mine: - Adagio For Strings (Barber) <--- Really beautiful - The Firebird Suite (Stravinsky) - Jupiter (Gustav Holst) - Romeo and Juliet (Sergei Prokofiev) <--- Epic - Finlandia, Lemminkainen Suite (Sibelius) - Symphonic Dances (Rachmaninoff) <--- Just gorgeous melodies - Symphony No. 5 (Shostakovich) - Symphony No. 9 (Dvorak) - Chaconne or Ciaconna (It's under Vitali although he wasn't the one who wrote it) | ||

But that takes quite a bit of training. Start with his Inventions (2-part), then Sinfonias (3-part), then Prelude and Fugues from the Well-Tempered Claviers, and eventually his chamber works. | ||
