What are some of your favorite classical composures? Also, this a shot in the dark, but are you by any chance into metal covers of classical music?

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

My favs are Chopin, Bach, and Rachmaninoff, but I listen to dozens of different composers. Not sure what kinda classical u might like but, id be happy to recommend some

And I'm familiar with some metal covers but not a huge fan myself, but my dad is haha

I have grown to appreciate all classical music and enjoy several that I can remember by name. Haha.

It's funny how I looked at the name "Chopin," and thought that I hadn't the slightest idea of the kind of music they produced. Turns out, I remember the sound of Nocturne No. 2 in E-Flat Major, Op. 9 No. 2. I either need to thank my parents or my music grad school teacher for introducing me to Chopin.

Bach is one of my favorites. Besides the "nearly everyone has heard this," songs, like Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prelude and Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068: II. Air. I enjoy BWV 988: Aria, and Violin Concerto in D Minor, BWV 1052: I. Allegro. I'm sure there are more but I don't have the time to go deep into his music catalog atm.

I can appreciate Rachmaninoff. But from the songs I've listened to so far, his music is too easygoing and/or loo lovey-dovey in sound. I feel like I'm about to step onto the stage in an 1800s romance play. Hahaha.

I'm into Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Modest Mussorgsky, and Johann Sebastian Bach.

Who would you recommend? =)

For metal covers, I recommend the following.

Exmortus - Moonlight Sonata (Act 3)

Exmortus - Night on Bald Moutain

Wolf Hoffmann

Joe Stump - Speed Metal Messiah

Warmen - Salieri Strickes Back

Tell your dad for me, that he's a badass! 🤘🤘
