Late Romantic Period Composers

(1/15) > >>

Mnementh:
I've been listening to a lot of Rachmaninov and Dvořák lately.  I both enjoy it and find that I'm more productive when listening.

Just about everyone is going to be familar with Rachmaninov, though they may not know it, because parts of his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini are often featured in films.  Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World is also quite famous, and people are oft acquainted with it.

Does anyone else enjoy this sort of music?  What are you listening to?

ilCorvo:
I had a period where I listened to that style of music, It was my Music Appreciation class Freshmen Fall Semester. I can't get into Classical I don't know why maybe it's because I'm uncivilized and shallw headed

Gryff:
I don't know a lot about classical music but I do know that Rachmaninov is the shizzee.

Bastardous Bassist:
Wagner.  End of discussion of late romantic composers.  Seriously, though, a lot of that stuff is pretty good.  However, it does get a little bit heavy and, I'm trying to think of the best word for what I'm trying to say, overblown, I guess.  Best example; Mahler's Symphony of 1,000.  It's just a little too much.  Everything was bigger, louder and heavier.  Except in the French school, which thankfully ushered in modality and more exotic tonalities, which are a breath of fresh air after all of that extremely bombastic stuff.

DannoHung:
I'm not very good at placing the eras of Composers, but I do know that Borodin was active around that time and I like his work.
