Dear people,
would you recommend me some #classicalmusic?
Any period, any style, any country, really classical, or experimental, whatever. Whole symphonies or just single movements.
Just give it to me!
@SeventhMagpie I knew Danse Macabre but I never heard the Venezuela Youth Orchestra. Talented youngsters, this sounds good!
@arteteco Rachmaninoff's Second concerto by a tough Siberian man Denis Matsuev and Svetlanov's orchestra: https://youtu.be/Ex9F-nfg2wE
You can hardly get more Russian than that.
@arteteco Arthur Rubinstein playing Chopin's Nocturnes: https://youtu.be/LoTQF_Z_3lQ
Also try to find waltzes from the same collection. Those are all recordings made when he was over 70, and I'd say he was at his pianistic prime than.
@SeventhMagpie
I don't know basically nothing about Chopin, but this music is so nice, thanks!
@arteteco Smetana's "Die Moldau": https://youtu.be/3G4NKzmfC-Q
Again, just close your eyes and see the river.
@SeventhMagpie The whole Ma Vlast is such a masterpiece... thanks for bringing it up, I was so happy to hear it again!
@arteteco Chopin's Premier concerto by Emil Gilels and Moscow State Orchestra: https://youtu.be/VtTl5of4J_Q
Yes, the coughing man should've stayed at home. :/
You can also find the recording with Philadelphia orchestra under Eugene Normandy. Also great performance.
@arteteco And sorry for YouTube. I don't know where else to take these recordings from so I could share. Use Firefox with ublock origin plugin to remove adverts, because YT is totally insensitive with inserting it in random places. :(
@SeventhMagpie Thank you very much for your links, I really appreciate it. And youtube is the best for me!
@arteteco On the experimental end of the spectrum, I've been enjoying 19-EDO music (dividing the octave into nineteen pitches rather than the conventional twelve). Most microtonal schemes just sound really weird and discordant, but 19-EDO is more like "normal" music with new chords.

@arteteco @federicomena Not any particular piece of music, but I really like this clip from the movie Liberal Arts:
@federicomena @arteteco I can't guarantee that you will like the movie, but Roger Ebert and I liked it. ;-)
@arteteco I'm sure you've seen the Rite of Spring with orchestra. This solo piano version with Daniel Rivera completely blows my mind. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h9kPKZYWM8c
@arteteco
Hi, I'd like to recommend any piece of Frederic Chopin. I leave you a link of one of my favorite pieces
@arteteco Anything by Heitor Villa-Lobos is worth listening to, but start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUrugDn2g6s
@arteteco The first thing that comes to mind is Danse Macabre played by the Venezuela Youth Orchestra: https://youtu.be/FIrpp-inOpM
This is the best rendition I've ever heard. Just close your eyes and turn on your imagination.
