I know there has to be some classical fans on this forum. I've just recently started getting into classical music. Gustav Holst's Planets Suite is what kicked the whole thing off. Other I really like are Wagner, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Dvorak, Mendehlson, Copland, and Mahler--mostly Romantic era. This is the song that got me started. I love metal, and it's easy to see the segway. ------------- I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . . |

I'm more a fan of 20th century composition and Baroque myself. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

I assume everyone knows that King Crimson's Devil's Triangle is derived from "Mars, The Bringer Of War" and it is too obvious how Manfred Mann's Earth Band came up with the idea for the song "Joybringer". However, one must further make observation to find a entire list of bands with pieces and especially hooks in prog that are directly lifted from Holst The Planets. The whole entire concept of Prog bands lifting signature melodies from Classical music and myself sitting endlessly for hours, listening to prog and attempting to make the connection to the specific composer who originally wrote it is something I have been obsessed with for years. It is a reality.

| Since you like the late Romantics, i would highly recommend the symphonies and masses of Anton Bruckner, and the tone poems of Richard Strauss-they are all examples of sublime musical genius! |

Maybe french romantics, Ravel, Fauré, Franck, Chabrier, Jadin, Lekeu.
Or more contemporary artists like Debussy, Satie, Koechlin, Duruflé, Poulenc, Ibert, Dutilleux, Messiaen, Séverac (his piano music is close to Debussy's one).
Among russians, do not forget Rachmaninov's nocturnes, Scriabin's "poems" as well as the dark world of Schnittke.
German romantics are quite fine as well, Brahms's sextets, Schubert's impromptus and late quartets, Schumann's piano music.
And you should give a chance to Nielsen's music.
But actually there is a lot to like in every era, from Ancient greek music to contemporary music.

I'll check out the recommendations for sure. What I've heard of Rachmaninov, Nielson, Bruckner and Strauss, I've liked. There's just so much out there. ------------- I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . . |
