ropprecht Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Not sure if anyone recommended Tchaikovsky yet: Also my main man Liszt (everyone knows this from Tom and Jerry but if you like your classical piano, he is your guy?

Bartok and Liszt were the shit, so good. Here is an other nice one from Bartok: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Used to listen to Bartók a lot around age 14 - 15. Good stuff, really dark, convoluted and trippy. Thanks for reminding me at this music 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the cynical malice in the shape Of neo-colonialism and its petty local servants.” Obviously this sounds awful but definitely a funny choice for a national anthem and the lyrics are unusual Edited May 18, 2020 by dingformung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Such an obvious choice but Chopin is the perfect ambient music. It reveals its beauty when you don't actively listen. It's neither very dark and heavy, nor bright and light hearted, it just moves along beautifully and meanders over the course of time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limo Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 To counter the colossal heaviness posted above ^ here's one of my favorites: 20th century Italian composer. Really like his string quartets. If you want more noise, he also wrote orchestral pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropprecht Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 GUYS, I almost forgot this one. I always wanted to play this in a club, it has such great drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Recent addictions, Granados - Goyescas. Intensely textural Spanish suite, astonishing displays of pianism at times. Vitoslav Novek - Pan (has both orchestral and piano solo version). Fairly under the radar Czech music, highly tonal with interesting unplanned modulations and rich orchestration. the solo piano version is great too. Nikolai Kasputin - 8 Concert Etudes, Sonata Fantasy No.1. Jazz classical on crack. The Sonata literally sounds unplayable at times. Prokofiev - Sonata No.8 . A work of intense anguish interespersed with strange uplifting soviet motifs, this one is a tough one to wrap your head around, highly rewarding when you do though. The first movement is 16 minutes long, but i mostly recommend the third for some crazy soviet bipolaristic harmony interplay. Leopold Godowsky - Piano Sonata. Gorgeous post romantisicm from the almost undisputed master of contrapuntality. Its a slog at 45 minutes, but the first movement alone is worth giving 5-6 listens to see if you can roll with it. Leo Ornstein - Cello Sonatas. Awesome, virtuoso pieces from a composer who managed to live through two century turns. his works alternate between full atonality, note cluster showmanship pieces, and stylistic late romantic, flowing stuff, of which the cello sonatas fall into the latter. Messiaen - Preludes. Written when he was a teenager, and beautiful as fuck. check em out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
