Quite a large selection here:
http://www.carolinaclassical.com/articles/29 September, 2005 at 4:23 pm #128340I do like classical, some of my favourites are:
Adagio for Strings, Opus 11 (Samuel Barber)
Die Walkure, `The Ride of the Valkyries` (Richard Wagner)
1812, Festival Overture, Opus 49 (Peter Tchaikovsky)29 September, 2005 at 6:50 pm #128341Clare de lune by Debussy is my fave, it makes me hairs stand up 8)
30 September, 2005 at 8:20 pm #128342I’m a great fan of Debussy’s works. Once thought of as being too modern and unusual to appreciate, he now seems to be among the most subtly influential composers of the last century. Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune and La Mer are among my favourite classical works, and although commonly described as an impressionist composer I believe his music owes as much to literary figures such as Poe and Baudelaire as it does to the obvious influences of Monet and Turner. Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune was inspired by a poem by Mallarme, and although unusual, it is a piece of extraordinary beauty – serene and melodic.
Elemental and spontaneous – Debussy’s music never seems intellectual in the sense of elaborately contrived, unlike Brahms or Sibelius for instance, yet he certainly deserves his place alongside such musical legends.2 October, 2005 at 8:53 pm #128343@giggles wrote:
