Not because I'm armenian (well, maybe) but I find that Khachaturian is amaaaazing. Ever heard Lezginka, or the Waltz in Masquerade, or the Violin concerto? aaaah yes.

Besides that, I like Sarasate, Tchaikovsky, and many of the Spanish stuff, like Bolero and all.

Vivaldi has some good ones too, but I don't like the kind of classic that is too reminiscent of a King's court.

Bach, honestly, scares me a little...

It's the best, babe, and you know it.

All of those you mentioned are Baroque composers. The Baroque period is my absolute favorite. I played a little Vivaldi when I studied violin. You play cello right?

well
I'm pretty sure you've only listened to his "common" pieces.
sort of like people who listen to "saint anger" and decide they hate metallica.
try listening to his cello suites.
I'm pretty sure you've heard one or two of em in commercials and stuff. it's very influential music.

Alright, I'll listen to the cello pieces, if you bring your cello to Montreal and play them

Honestly though, I'm gonna download a few right now, any suggestions?

btw, I wanna restart playing the violin now ...
If anyone wants to send me a Christmas gift, a violin will suffice.

I used to play the recorder, for what its worth.

I absolutely adore Bach.

Bach, J.S. - Cello Suite No. 1 Mvt 1 by Yo-Yo Ma is amazing and so is Pachelbel - Cannon In D Major. Classical music is still the most inspirational and most complex kind of music, next in line is jazz (but that is just my opinion).

[Arvestaked]

It is also my opinion.

I adore classical.

I was very much immersed in this type of atmosphere at my music school in Armenia when I used to play the piano (not anymore ).

Have any of you guys heard Mozart's "Fantasy"? It's absolutely breathtaking.

I don't really have any favorites...I love them all.
