CLT: Holst's Jupiter
Which is probably my favorite classical piece. I don't know much about classical music, but I've always really liked Holst. What about everyone else's favorite classical music? |

But my absolute favorite piece of classical music is Chopin's Op. 10 No. 12, the Revolutionary Etude. One of my favorite performances:
Frederic Chopin has always deeply impressed me. He's an early Romantic composer, but the influence from the generation before him -- the late Classical composers -- is unmistakable. |

My favorite classic piece is Pachebel's Canon. When Jun Togawa does it punk version. It's been posted before but just in case you missed it:
CLT: Two albums have leaked, the new Ayumi Hamasaki and the new Shins. On initial play-throughs: Party Queen- a very surpising album. With just the right amount of uber cheese (and I dig the showtunes a lot, I'd gladly take more from her). 7.5/10. Original score expectation: 4/10 Port of Morrow- realistically what was to be expected, but not the album of the year like it should have been. 7/10. Original score expectation: At least an 8.5/10

I have many favorites pieces of music. So this will be hard to choose. Here goes:
Maxim Vengerov is my absolutely favorite violinist. David Oistrakh takes second place. Because Mr Oistrakh sometimes plays too fast to develop the music's emotions fully while Mr Vengerov develops the emotions fully and at a perfect speed. Not related but Mr Vengerov makes funny faces when he plays so that is a bonus. I don't love etudes. I like music that tells a story. Etudes are too mechanical to me. Perfectly well in theory in music mathematics but it doesn't sound very nice to me. Favorite composers? Claude Debussy (Started to listen to him after knowing Ringo is a big fan.), Erik Satie, Tchaikovsky and Ravel. Last edited by W3iHong : 2012.03.14 at 08:41 PM. |

I first learned of Holst via Isao Tomita.
Favorite "classical" is probably Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians.
I like a lot of Philip Glass and LaMonte Young stuff too, but I used to work for those guys, and therefore probably don't have a very objective perspective. |

Both Ravel's Adagio assai (second movement) from the Piano Concerto in G and the first movement of Rachmaninoff's second Piano Concerto. An essential recording of the latter would certainly be the one for Evgeny Kissin's flawless performance:
