Classical Music?
Rubby:
Speaking of old threads. Whatever happened to Bastardous Bassist?
El Opium:
I'm not a huge classical fan, but I do enjoy the odd spot of Arvo Part and early Terry Riley.
The Hammered:
This thread seems a good enough place to post this question in.
Does anyone have any suggestions for figuring out which recording of a particular piece to buy? Should I try figuring out which performers I really like and go from there, or should I spend hours looking up information on/reviews of various recordings, or what?
Edit: I second the question about Bastardous Bassist, now that you mention it.
Scytale:
It's probably not strictly classical but I really like
Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Especially "Das Rheingold"
The scope of the music is amazing, so epic and majestic.
elcapitan:
Again, I doubt this really comes under the heading of "classical", but get hold of anything written by Joaquín Rodrigo.
I've just found a CD recording of John Williams playing the Concerto de Aranjuez (among other great pieces) with the Seville Symphony in 1992. I don't care that it's one of the most well-known solo guitar pieces ever - it's also one of the most beautiful.
