November 14, 200916 yr Well, this statement is hard enough to buy just in consideration of Rite of Spring versus Ameriques but impossible when taking into account their entire bodies of work.Listen to some late Varese like Deserts or Nocturnal and tell me there are any similarities between Varese and Stravinsky. I only was referencing Ameriques. And specifically the introduction.
November 14, 200916 yr Well I have most recently gone through a phase of worshipping Copland for his 3rd Symphony. It is one of my favorite pieces.

November 28, 200916 yr Right now this one - Middle Eastern music meets Impressionism - especially the opening.
December 5, 200916 yr So... the resident prog freaks strikes again. This time one of my favorite pieces at this moment is this little piece by Sven Grünberg - now an accomplished electronic and soundtrack composer, but at his youth led the short-lived progressive rock group "Mess" which was Probably the first symphonic prog act in the Soviet Union. They only managed to record about 4-5 pieces though :(
December 31, 200916 yr The 12 days after Christmas :lol: I've recently discovered how amazing tchaikovk'ys symphonies really are, his 5th is like OMG SO EPIC and his 6th is almost as if tchaik put every drop of his soul and all his emotion into it. :( the ending is really sad. But its still amazing. Oh and Dvorak is also really good, hes definitely an underappreciated musical genius, in music class everyone knows of mozart and beethoven and bach, but everyone was like "huh, who is dvorak" (they pronounced him wrong as well :P).
