Mozart's Requiem
Karl Orff's Carmina Burana Verdi's Requiem Faure's Requiem (er... yeah, I like Requiems!) Beethoven's 9th Mussoursky's Night on a Bare Mountain Prokofiev's Love of 3 Oranges and Lieutenant Kije I'm also a BIG fan of Satie, although as a Dadaist composer he doesn't really fall within the classical genre [ 06-24-2002, 04:47 AM: Message edited by: Epona ]

Are classical .mp3s that bad? Dunno, they sounded quite okay on my system.
Ah, Erik Satie! Yes, I love his Gymnopedies. Cool, slow, gentle, really light. And who cares whether it's 'classical' music -- it's good music and that's what's important! BTW, Epona, are you familiar with Vaughan Williams? Thought a Londoner like you might know...

Wow, quite a uniform taste here! Lots of Nights on the bald mountain, lots of Mozart's Requiem...and I'm no different
(pssst, Epona, it's Carl Orff, not Karl ) A few of my own favourites: Mozart - his 'Geistliche Werke', so yes, his Requiem as well , Die Zauberflöte, some of the piano and violin concertos... Grieg - his piano works, Peer Gynt Suite, Tchaikovsky (his sixth symphony "Pathetique", and his other symphonies as well, his first piano concerto), Rachmaninov (his Vespers mostly), Gorecki (Third Symphony), Gerschwin, Orff's Carmina Burana and Catulli Carmina, Janacek, Vivaldi (Gloria, Quattro Stagioni, etc), Wagner, Eisler, Woestenburg, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky (yes, Night on the bald mountain [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), Brückner, Fauré (Requiem, Cantique de Jean Racine), Bach...

Williams is a popular composer over here for chiors to sing I think. Yeah, and unless you get CD-quality .mp3s (which you mostly don`t) then they tend to sound all scratchy. Anyway, just my personal experience.

Not sure I like Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. It's just too... 'overused'. The works by Mussorgsky that I really like are the symphonic excerpts from the opera Khovanschina -- such as the deeply moving Dawn by the Moskva River and the really exhilarating Dance of the Persian Maidens.
Not very familiar with Vaughan Williams' choral works -- I've listened to his Sea Symphony before, actually, but it just didn't strike me as one of his best pieces. It is again his symphonic works that impress me -- I especially love his London and Pastoral Symphonies. Oh, and his 4th and 6th Symphonies are so terrifying they would make Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain sound comical by comparison, too. Pity I can't talk to you folks about the Oriental classics, which have yet to achieve wider recognition.

K T Ong - yes, I am familiar with Vaughan Williams, he was actually the founder of the group of Choral Societies I used to sing with [img]smile.gif[/img]
Melusine - [img]tongue.gif[/img] thank you for correcting my spelling, you are as bad as Donut, both nitpickers (j/k) [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] I like Grieg's Peer Gynt too, forgot that one!
