I like classical music, but am new to it?

Question

Could yo recomend me any good artist I should listin to?

Answer 1

.. Joshua Bell, violinist

.. Renee Fleming, soprano

.. Any recordings by the San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas

Answer 2

May I suggest chamber music for starters. This is music played by a small ensemble as opposed to a full orchestra.
Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Serenade). Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Chopin's Preludes and Nocturnes. These are but a few of basic repertoire chamber pieces that are a delight to listen to.

Answer 3

lol artist? i think you should be aiming more for composer rather than artist.

classical music is played by people but mostly if you are really eager to know about the variety of music, you should really pay attention to the composer.

Bach's pieces are majestic, as are Handel's.

Chopin's are very smooth and relaxing but can be very moody-like too.

Beethoven is an incorporation of both, but known as the unpredictable composer, you probably couldn't tell what would come next.

Mozart.. composing twinkle twinkle little star rofl. His pieces are very light and dynamic still.

I reckon for good pieces to listen to...
Eine Kleine Natchmusik would definitely be one.
Piano Sonata No.7 in D minor Opus 31 No.2 by Beethoven would be amazing too
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto in C minor
Sonata Pathetique by Beethoven

that should be okay to start you off! :D

Answer 4

One good thing to do is buy a cd of various classical composers, like a greatest hits of classical say, try to get a good compilation with good quality recordings made by well known respected artists so you get the best sound and performance, usually the store clerks know what's good, sometimes they don't. This way you can decide if you like a certain composer or a certain era, like classical, baroque, renaissance etc.. or a certain style like chamber music, piano, orchestral, opera etc.... there's alot of classical out there, it can be daunting to sort it all out, takes alot of time but its fun....

Answer 5

Dvorak, New World symphony
Smetana, Ma Vlast

Slightly 'moderner' stuff such as Stravinsky, Bartok, Kodaly, and the wonderful C19 English composers such as Vaughan Williams, Holst and Elgar.

Just a few personal favourites, enjoy.

Answer 6

A really fun way to introduce yourself to a variety of classical music is to find a local symphony orchestra (many high school youth orchestras play professional level works too) and start attending their concerts. Most orchestras mix it up quite a bit, and you can find out which composers are your favorite. As an added bonus, you're supporting local arts programs.

Answer 7

Try Miriam Stockley's album "Eternal", it has got some famous classical music pieces rearranged to a "Hooked On Classics" style...! Composer-wise then, I would recommend Mozart and Vivaldi first and maybe Chopin if you like the piano.

Answer 8

Beethoven symphony 9 (relieves stress)
- Beethoven symphony 7 (Personal favorite)
-Mozart Turkish March (Very good piece)
-Chopin
-Canon in d major

Answer 9
