I got Apple Music classical recently. absolutely love it. If youāre reading this and havenāt taken the classical-pill yet, you have to give it a try. It has all the calming space out lock in effects of ambient musicā but if you care to really tune into the music itself itās astonishing how beautiful it can be. Growing up, I thought it was music for the diaperprolesā babies & senior citizens. I was so wrong. Such grace, such clarity, such overwhelming force, such tenderness, such vehement, electrifying ENERGY all expressed completely wordlessly. By a means that surpasses words. Wordcelsisters, we never stood a chance⦠Iāve been on a huge Russians kick currently. Prokofiev, Rachmoninov, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Tvhaikovsky. Some pieces that Iāve really been enjoying recently, in no particular order: Schumannās piano concerto in A minor performed by Marta Argerich. Rossiniās overture from la gazza ladra Prokofievās dance of the knights from Romeo & Juliet Stravinskyās rite of spring Vladikir Ashkenazyās rendition of Chopinās 15th nocturne Iām also convinced that āSmile Sessionsā is the best pop album ever made. If anyone can provide any evidence to the contrary Iād be delighted. But in the meantime, Iāll continue listening to āThe Teenage Symphony to Godā front to back ad infinitum
very soundtrack very nice š and you canāt really go wrong with Satie, Debussy, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff⦠honestly if you have an apple music subscription, there is a whole other app dedicated to classical music!! but if not youtube will have everything you could ever ask for especially with live performances :)
