My Classical Loves
by 
Kalos 
This chart is more spontaneous than the one I made concerning albums. I never studied music, so I haven't got much awareness of what is more inovative, what is best written etc..at least not the awareness I have of the more approachable popular music.
That's why this time I completely don't care about any convention: here you'll find what I apreciate the most, what I love the most, what attracts me the most.
For the same reason, I decided to mix up together apples and peaches: you'll find symphonies, tone poems, sonatas, even operas..I know they have different languages, but I intended this chart like a sort of circus, so everyone is equally invited.
It is very important to notice that I refer to the compositions, not the executions: the albums you see are simply the ones I tended to listen to most of the times. But when I put te 5th Symphony by Beethoven I was referring to the composer's written pentagram, not the recording of Kleiber. So, tha attention is on the written part on the right, the album is just a suggestion.
Off course for "classical" I refer also to all the "cultivated" music, since the medieval to the contemporary. Any suggestion from you is warmely appreciated!
I've almost finished the chart, but I purposely prefer to publish it
veeeeeeeryyy slooooowlyyyyyy
step by step, so I can re-listen what my ads (:
enjoy!

5TH SYMPHONY - LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
The 5th is...the perfect perfection. It is so dense, so easy to drink, that even an ignorant ear like mine can immediately realize its mathematical proportion, this dazzling tree completely derived from those simple 4 notes. Notice the strenght to use them for a threatening warning about destiny, a rediscovery of order and a final march toward hope for humanity! [First added to this chart: 02/01/2018]

THE RITE OF SPRING - IGOR STRAVINSKY
How to forget that day my professor put this piece on the stereo? I already knew it...but he put it VERY loudly. I was instantly transported to the primitive Russia, all the forces of Nature were around me, a real experience! The polytonality, the polyrithimcs and the "zapping" method were a crucial part of this rite <3 [First added to this chart: 02/07/2018]

BRANDENBURG CONCERTOS - J.S. BACH
Bach is the one whose music makes me forget my preoccupations. I think it is for is maze-nature. My brain begins to follow those patterns expressing all that grandeour or serenity. The Brandenburg Concerts do that while emanating a rain of colours, and to lose on's way in this maze is a rainbow experience! [First added to this chart: 02/08/2018]

RHAPSODY IN BLUE - GEORGE GERSHWIN
It takes 3 seconds of a clarinet glissando to move one's head in 20's America. This fantastic piece portrais a sense of crazy, laughing, light frenzy strolling around the city. The smell of the American Dream before the crack of '29. Melody, compositional rigor, and that wonderful damned lightheartedness... <3

PIANO CONCERTO N. 2 - SERGEJ RACHMANINOFF
Upon a piano storm evoked by never-tired fingers, a torrent of melody pleases your ears. It's all in that contrast and in that melody, when it's ominous (first movement), super-sweet (second one) or friskier (the final one) [First added to this chart: 08/31/2018]

BOLERO - MAURICE RAVEL
It is remembered as one of the most pleasurable motifs ever, yet the nature of the Bolero is drammatically crazy. Its never-changing melody keeps growing in dynamics and intensity, helped by the instruments added stanza by stanza. In the end, the blows collapse, the world and the Age of Man decay. It is an anthem to the end of everything, and the inexorablity of time.
Anyway, if you want just to whistle, the piece is wonderful as well! [First added to this chart: 08/31/2018]

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS - J. S. BACH
Despite their highly "mathematical" and theoretical intentions, the Goldberg Variations are a delightful joy for the soul. The moving melody presented in the first movement is continuously reproposed in spirited versions that make it a sort of game. Again, with Bach, following his mazy construction is a cure for daily thoughts... and they call it music for experts! [First added to this chart: 09/23/2018]

MUSIC FOR STRINGS, PERCUSSION & CELESTA - BELA BARTOK
So much flavor in this compositions, together haunting and somehow entertaining. Yes, the unexpected and aggressive dialogues between strings and piano have a vivid charm, far from intellectual soliloquies. The first movement, a magistral fugue, is one of the mont haunting pieces I ever heard, the second and fourth are dynamic like a...uhm...a transilvanian circus? The third proposes an innovatiev (and great!) way to play percussions.. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2018]

PETRUSHKA - IGOR STRAVINSKY
I talked about the urban suggestions of Gershwin, but well, here is another exemple of (a different kind of) city frenzy: The partiture of Stravinsky is particularly lovely when it changes melodies after melodies in a crazy zapping-style. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to my favourit musical century: it's '900 time! [First added to this chart: 09/23/2018]

Thanks for the classical sugestions. Love Kleiber’s Beethoven 5 & 7. I’ll have to check out that Wagner Ring version . I’m a fan of George Solti’s Ring.
