classical as in vocal music, or more instrumental? if vocal, theres various songs that people like Charlotte Church & Sarah Brightman sing. And Josh Groban. And Andrea Bocelli. But you have to be kinda picky, not everything is good. Black Swan from the Medium is very beautiful.

[shu-chan1013]

There is always Trans-Siberian Orchestra,which puts a modern spin on classical music,or The Classical Conspiracy...they are also pretty good....

[Fashion Fascist]

Rhapsody in Blue (George Gershwin)
Toccata & Fugue in D Minor (Bach)
Herr, Lehre Doch Mich (of Brahm's Requiem)

Those are my top three picks.

One of my favorite composers of all time is Greig, take a listen to some of his peer gynt suites:


he also composed this, which is one of my favorite pieces by him:


Prokofiev is another great composer but his style is nothing at all like Greigs:



I'm a big fan of Dvorak as well:




Chopin is fantastic too:




and these are also wonderful:



However this is hardly scratching the surface! Most the rest has been said for me already. Regardless, hope this helps.

prokofiev piano concerto no. 3 i especially like Yuja Wang`s interpration.

Please?

Antonio Vivaldi, Four Seasons.

[Haru_Watashi]

People here are posting you with random classical songs,im not saying its bad,but you need to know what youre listening to.Let me start you off with the basics.

I think that one of the most sentimental composers has been Antonio Vivaldi. His most famous pices were the four seasons in which he represent boldly using differrent techniques in each one.



The most famous classical character has always been Ludwig Van Beethoven,he was one of the main composers in the Romanticism era.So they were dedicated mostly to love.You could see it in the beauty of "Fur Elise" (For Elise in English)



Franciszek Chopin has been one of my favorite composers,mostly how he interprets the paino.HE used to be called by the High King when he was only twelve.The King was mad and the only thing that seemed to calm him was the boys music.

Hope this gets you started out,if i were you i would go to a local library and pick up one of the old books on Musical Appreciation if you really want to learn.I own a couple of books on this.The only way to fully appreciate classical music is learn an instrument like Piano.It will show you how advanced these individuals were from our time.Hope this helps you out c:
