December 22, 200817 yr Mahler Symphony No. 2 Shostakovich Symphony No. 8 (which not many people know :()
December 23, 200817 yr ^I know Shosty 8! I like his 6th (of which even fewer people know) better personally.
December 23, 200817 yr I love... Prokofiev Symphony 5 Stravinsky Rite of Spring Ravel and Poulenc piano concertos (Enigmus, I have a recording of the Poulenc by Charles Dutoit, Pascal Rog
December 28, 200817 yr Schoenberg's Kammersymphonie (Quartal harmony :D) Webern's Four Pieces for Violin and Piano No. 4 Hindemith's Clarinet Sonata, Mvmt. 3
December 28, 200817 yr Webern's Four Pieces for Violin and Piano No. 4 A treat, aren't they? I can't wait to find an excuse to put them into one of my recitals.
January 7, 200917 yr Mine has been flip-floping between Eric Whitacre's "Sleep" and "When David Heard" since October. Yet I must say Schubert's "Maginficat" was forefront at Christmas
January 7, 200917 yr Stravinsky's Rite of Spring Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 2 Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 "Appassionata" And this other piece I can't identify :/ I'm assuming the label is wrong, unless it's a Concerto the LAPO played other than the Bartok one, but I'm unable to find out. Concerto For Orchestra by Los Angeles Philharmonic -- Listen to Free Music If you happen to know, please PM me the title, composer and performer, if possible. Many thanks!
January 7, 200917 yr OK so what is currently your favorite piece? Mine Changes about every week last week it was Brahms' Requiem, and today its Beethoven's Grosse Fuge:wub:. Album of Violin Pieces, Everybody's Favorite Series #6 - This collection includes 30 pieces for violin & piano.
January 7, 200917 yr Mine changes constantly as well. I don't know if this counts as a favorite yet - only heard it once, and, given the circumstances, probably won't get to hear it again for awhile. But... tonight, on public radio...from a simulcast of the NJSO Neeme J
January 7, 200917 yr King's College' date=' LondonBMus - Class of 2011 [/quote'] :O Are you studying with George Benjamin?!?!?! :O
January 7, 200917 yr And this other piece I can't identify :/ I'm assuming the label is wrong, unless it's a Concerto the LAPO played other than the Bartok one, but I'm unable to find out. Concerto For Orchestra by Los Angeles Philharmonic -- Listen to Free Music If you happen to know, please PM me the title, composer and performer, if possible. Many thanks! um, this IS the Bartok concerto for orchestra... how can it be one of your favourite pieces and you do not recognize the finale?
January 7, 200917 yr :O Are you studying with George Benjamin?!?!?! :O Haha, no. Well, not yet anyway. He is resident here, but he only teaches a select few postgraduate students. He does give the odd awe-inspiring lecture here though. His last one was on Messiaen

January 9, 200917 yr Capriccio espagnol, Rimsky-Korsakov Concerto for Oboe, Strings, and Continuo in D Minor, Alessandro Marcello (except the C minor version is better IMHO) Symphony No. 7, Beethoven (but really only the second movement) About the Beethoven: Just listening to it, I actually like the first two movements, and the third to a point. But when I was actually playing it, the only movement I could stand was the second. Does anyone else notice how actually playing something and just listening to it tends to color perceptions of a piece? Or is it just me?
January 10, 200917 yr D minor is better. :whistling: You're such an oboe-geek. Why don't you play it?
January 10, 200917 yr D minor is better. :whistling:You're such an oboe-geek. Why don't you play it? I do. I forgot to edit that into my profile, though :O EDIT: I will say the D minor version has its merits, but I like the overall sound of the C minor version better because it sounds darker.
January 10, 200917 yr DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN, Richard Wagner (which is the perfect unicycle/music drama) and Symphony 6, Mahler (which is the perfect symphony). I also love "Le sacre du Printemps", Dvorak`s 4th symphony(NOT the eight, according to the new numbers) and Eine Alpensinfonie, Richard Strauss. But above all DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 10, 200917 yr Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy - Save The Best For Last.Stunning. :O This is absolutely gorgeous!
January 10, 200917 yr Aaron Copland, Sextet for String Quartet, Clarinet, and Piano ah, the famous "Short Symphony".
January 13, 200917 yr Concerto for Bassoon in E Minor, RV. 484 - Vivaldi Devil to play, strangely moving to listen to.
