If it's just the singing in opera that you don't like, I would recommend finding work by Puccini without the vocals. The melodies are beautiful.

And, not to be disagreeable, I would recommend Wagner. Very intense and often dark, yes, but genius! :D

Yes.

And Wagner is so much fun to play. :)

how are you with Choral pieces (since, amongst other things, several of the suggestions thus far do include them)?

Mostly not my top choices, I really preefer instrumental but I'm pretty open. I'll try anything once. (Musically speaking of course. :cool: )

Duly noted.
 
Again many thanks to all. :rose:

I now have a horrendously long list of songs to go thru. I only expected 3 or 4 replies, that seems to be my thread average, this many replies was a bit of a surprise, though I suppose it shouldn't have been. Looks to be a big download bill this month. :D Ah well, it isn't the first, won't be the last.

Brahms' Third Symphony. You can follow the plot as clearly as if there were lyrics. There's innocence, envy, violence, revenge, grief & remorse, a plea for grace and forgiveness so poignant you'll need a handful of Kleenex; the grace of God, rendered with such tenderness I can't help feeling a stab of envy for the man who felt that pure outpouring of love - and understood it well enough to express it as music.

If you've wondered, as I do, how one brain could concieve and coordinate all the layers of a piece written for a full orchestra or choir (back before synthesizers made it possible to hear how the pieces fit) rent "Amadeus" for the climactic scene where the dying Mozart dictates a funeral mass. It not only makes me cry, it also makes me ashamed that my brain is mostly used to hold up my hair.

I know a lot of people didn't like that movie, but I've always loved Mozart, and I loved the movie - have watched it over and over - and I always cry at the end, even though I know how it turns out. :)
 
Bela Bartok -- moody and creepy. His Cantata Profana should be right up there with Orf's Carmina Burana.

Charles Ives -- creepy and utterly fucked up. The nerd provocateur before it became a cliche.

Gustav Mahler -- mooooooody.
 
Ok, so far the collection has expanded by Vivaldi, Tartini, Copland, Rodrigo and Greig. Thanks for all the great suggestions. :rose:

I'm not really sure if the versions I have purchased are good ones or not but given that a the moment I'm playing them from my computer wich has only modest sound capability it probablly matters little. When I get them in my car on a REAL sound system that will be the proof.

Just for the record, what orchestras should I be looking for? What are considerd to be the best of the best?
 
If you like piano music, I'd recommend Robert Schumann (piano concerto a minor, but even more his smaller pieces, some of which were written for children - amazing in their simplicity). He wrote 4 very nice symphonies as well.
Very unusual are the piano pieces of Erik Satie, they almost have a jazzy ring to it.

His Rhenish Symphony is to die for. I'm also fond of Paganini's 24th Caprice.
 
My ex-wife was a classically trained piano player. She turned me on to Satie. Love his stuff.

I'm fond of Shostakavich and Moussorgsky as well.
 
Bruch Violin Concerto.
Bach violin concerto for two.
Pergolesi's Stabat Mater
Elgar Cello Concerto (it has to be the Jacqueline Du Pre version)
Mozart's Requiem
Verdi's Requiem
George Mattias Monn - Violin Concerto in E - (the Adagio is sublime)

I'm off to bed now, but I'll put some more up tomorrow
 
My wife loves Joseph Lanner. He does waltzes. Everything I listen to has already been said, but I thought you might want to try that one.

Bumping this part.

The Berlin Philharmonics, the Vienna Philharmonics and the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam would be my first choices.

Thanks. :rose:

I used that as sound track for a DVD slide show of scanned photos of my wife's 95 year old aunt on her birthday last week. I love Grieg.
