Classical Music for Non-Classical Listeners
His Lordship:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB0aGtFbh_4WDJJTQSv1l02rOt-KIg-NH
I made this playlist for people who don't normally listen to classical music.
It's music that I feel can be easily understood by non-classical listeners.
The rule I put on myself is that a composer can only have one piece featured (eg. only one piece by Mozart).
This is so that people can discover a really varied program.
I'm also avoiding all the most famous pieces (though many of these pieces are quite famous in classical circles).
I also tried to keep them short (ie, under 12 minutes)
If you can recommend any pieces to add to this playlist, please let me know.
Enjoy!
Ronmanola:
Bruch's Violin Concerto
Dvorak New World
Brahms Double Concerto
Beethoven's 7th
Lalo Symphonie Espagnole
Mendelssohn's Elijah
Rachmaninoff piano concerto?
Ravel Bolero
the list could go on forever
His Lordship:
Bruch's Violin Concerto - Maybe. Which movement?
Dvorak New World - It's in there already :P
Brahms Double Concerto - Maybe. Which movement?
Beethoven's 7th - Only one piece per composer. Is his 7th really worth it? I prefer Emperor Concerto
Lalo Symphonie Espagnole - Never heard it, will check it out :)
Mendelssohn's Elijah - Maybe. Which part?
Rachmaninoff piano concerto? - Piano Concerto 2? Third movement is incredible.
Ravel Bolero - I chose the Piano COncerto over that bloody Bolero. Hate hate hate it.
