so these might be a little easier and flashy lol:
-liebesleid by Fritz kreisler (♥️)
-the suzuki version of correlli’s la folia variations
-3326 by olafur arnalds (contemporary pop classical composer, he has some gorgeous chamber stuff)
-czardas by vittorio monti (sampled by lady gaga lol)
-slower pieces that let me rebuild my technique without panicking that I can’t get myself up to tempo: meditation from Thais by massenet, 2nd movement of the vivaldi violin concerto in a minor enjoy playing again, this is making me want to pull out my violin too!!
I have been in a such a dry spell with new music lately so I've returned to my old classical music playlists: ravel:
Jeux D'Eau
Gaspard de la nuit (Ondine specifically)
Piano Trio in A Minor (mvt 1)
Daphnis Et Chloe: Lever Du Jour
String Quartet in F major barber:
Cello Concerto op.22 mvt 1 debussy:
string quartet in g major
la plus que lente
violin sonata in g minor mvt 2 poulenc:
Sonata for cello and piano--mvt 2 and 3
* Rimsky-Korsakov — Scheherazade
* Dvorak — New World Symphony
* Rachmaninoff — The Piano Concertos and Paganini Rhapsody
* Debussy and Satie performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet
* Bartok — Orchestral Works
* Stravinsky — The Rite of Spring
* Walton — Death of Falstaff (most beautiful and heartrending song ever written?)
I’m talking romantic era circa 1870. rachmaninoff, tchaikovsky, sibelius, saint-saëns, and even later composers like scriabin and ravel. I’ve recently been fixated on sibelius symphony no. 2 and ravel piano concerto in g (the second movement definitely being the most emotional). oh, and this is neoromantic but I can’t pass up an opportunity to recommend ennio morricone’s compositions. I recently relistened to the guiseppe tornatore suite and it’s just wave after wave of bliss from the sonic landscape. I hate to be that pretentious classical music guy but I just really like talking about it lol.
