Again.

Again. 

whoops! my bad.

[49410enrique]

never in a thousand years would i have thought to hear this theme again outside of a rare rerun of the now obscure cartoon television show, but this is genious. the girl is insanely talented. wow.

[drexo]

Learning Op.11 No.16 myself right now. Fun to play

[vsrinivasa]

The Finale of Debussy's Piano Trio, written when he was only 17.

[austinarg]

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

Not classical, but still amazing.

[the89thkey]

Nikolai Lugansky's Rach 3. The best!

[zezhyrule]

Bach's Prelude and Fugue in B Minor from WTC I

So wonderful.

[ted]

My favourite stride pianist of recent times:

[vsrinivasa]

This strange string quartet and flute arrangement of the Hammerklavier. It is quite terrible. Especially since the players cannot stay together for more than two bars...

[vsrinivasa]

I usually listen to Western Classical, but I also listen to Indian music a lot. So here is something from India:

[evitaevita]

This interpretation is certainly one of my favourite!  
So,...
Shura Cherkassky plays Rachmaninov's famous Prelude Op.23 No.5 in G Minor

By the way, I think I have to practice...  

[evitaevita]

Berceuse from Grieg's Lyric Pieces Op.38

What a beautiful piece!

[vsrinivasa]

[outin]

This piece is weird and I am not sure whether I hate it or not...

[vsrinivasa]

This piece is weird and I am not sure whether I hate it or not...

I actually really like it.

So for mine:

Such a beautiful piece!

[perprocrastinate]

Ravel. I'm been obsessed with his works for the past couple weeks.

And hence, this was the result:

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Omg YESSSSSS!!! 

Like a week before Asura's Wrath came out, one of the beta players posted the first 18 minutes on YouTube, and this was the song that played in the background:

But when the game actually came out, they took away the voice so it sucked.  And everyone felt salty.  Thankfully someone posted this link on Facebook.

Oginsky

[49410enrique]

ha ha this is still going strong! love this thing.

[teosoleil]

Phillip Glass's Violin Concert.

Holy moly. This is actually quite brilliant, and I've never thought of myself as a Minimalist fan before. It's just so hypnotic and wonderful; it harkens to the mood and atmosphere of the Impressionists while maintaining the simplicity of the Classical Period while incorporating beautiful melodies that seem almost Romantic!!!

[j_menz]

Tausig's Ghostship. Extraordinary.

[williampiano]

Ernest Chausson- Piano Quartet op. 30

[49410enrique]

oh my dear sweet heaven!

@ about 2:00 ...holy cow!!

[thesixthsensemusic]

Sviatoslav Richter playing Beethoven no. 3 with the Leipziger Gewandhausorchester, directed by Kurt Sanderling. From a 33 RPM vinyl!

[Bob]

I don't mean to upstage anyone or come off as elitist here, but...

[chopin2015]

Rubinstein pkats beethoven op 73 concerto

[perprocrastinate]

I've never heard the right hand chords voiced this way. Whatever Margulis does, it's spectacular.

[outin]

It's certainly different...not to my taste though...

[perprocrastinate]

Scriabin's sonatas. They're creepy in a good way.

I don't know why, but I've been a mood for listening to Scriabin/Prokofiev/Rachmaninoff these past few days.

[Bob]

[patrickd]

[j_menz]

But why is the Orchestra back to front (or left to right, rather, or however you describe it)?

[chopin2015]

Lmao

[Bob]

I don't know... But it looks a little horrific.  Alice in Wonderland customes, white, red, a guy in a rabbit suit.

I think it's Taylor Swift on the Grammies.

It looks like someone just threw a circus in behind a teenage angst song.  Geez... I can't believe people buy that or they can make money of it.

[williampiano]

I discovered this on reddit about 30 minutes ago and haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

This is cutee, look at the love birds

[Bob]

I'm listening to the mighty war cry of a Namaqua rain frog.  Something to be feared for sure.

[perprocrastinate]

I want to like this sonata, but there's something I'm not seeing. Eh, it'll hit me in time. I wonder if it's possible to force acquired taste.

[perprocrastinate]

Okay, so, apparently not.

I hate them all. I'm still waiting for that epiphany to hit, where I suddenly fall in love with his music. It's happened for me with Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, and Prokofiev. Eventually Beethoven will be appealing to me.  

Okay, it hit me. I'm officially addicted. It actually took a while for it to sink in after I forced myself to listen to the 23rd sonata (interpretation by Richter). The 3rd movement haunted me at school all day.

[chopin2015]

About time! I didnt like lvb so much until i tried playing. You gotta start listening to something virtuosic! Itll inspire and lead you into the lifetyle which would be nothing without B.

Now I have to find something manageable, and learn it. Any suggestions? If you recommend Fur Elise, I'm going to egg your house.

Lol how did you ever know that I posted a comment on one of Valentinas videos?!

So now I'll be the only one who absolutely cannot stand that music?

[koopakool]

Pretty sure many here will be in lack of comprehension but I'm listening to some good old Death

Clear influences from Liszt  

[chopin2015]

Hahaaaaa
What about sepultura?

[perprocrastinate]

Lol how did you ever know that I posted a comment on one of Valentinas videos?!

I'm not sure. Your YouTube profile picture was posted on this forum some time ago. I made the association. Secondly, I have the feeling that I found your channel sometime in the past.

U like agitato or adagio better? Lol

I dunno. Surprise me.

[chopin2015]
