I just went to my first concert yesterday.
I really enjoyed it. It was a great experience. The Pacific Symphony was playing Ravel's Mother Goose suite, Danielpour's Child's Reliquary, and Beethoven's "Eroica". Ravel's Mother Goose was just beautiful and magical. The "Pavane" was elegant. The "Tom Thumb" was mysterious; I could easily see Tom...

Eroica at the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall
I'm not particularly well-versed in classical music and this is my first concert so pardon me if the review is amateurish, unrefined, and possibly skewed. The night's program consisted of Ravel's Mother Goose suite (Ma Mère l'Oye), followed by an orchestrated version of Danielpour's Child's Reliquar...

There's Benjamin Britten's War Requiem and Verdi's Requiem. For the War Requiem, you can't go wrong with the Decca recording with Britten himself conducting the London Symphony Orchestra! For the Verdi, there's another Decca recording that's pretty good; it has Solti conducting the Vienna Philharmon...

Piano Sonata No.14 "Moonlight" is part of an opus containing two piano sonatas: No.13 and No.14. Piano Sonata No.17 "Tempest" is part of an opus containing three piano sonatas: No.16, No.17, and No.18. So, to answer your question, no, Moonlight is not part of a bigger piece. It's one of the two pian...

Sorry to give you the wrong idea, I tend to utilize rather dramatic diction sometimes. The effect that Schnittke's Second Symphony had on me wasn't as profound as you believe it to be. However, it did change me. It was a completely new experience that was stylistically and compositionally unlike any...

I ended up choosing the Pacific Symphony's event as my first concert. Just that fact that it's the premiere of an orchestrated version of a piece written in memory of the conductor's dead son screams to something inside me that this is going to be special. I'm sad about missing the other event since...

I want to go to both of them, but it's in my best interest to not do both of them. I don't think I have the time to spare for two concerts considering I still have to do college apps and essays not to mention that's it's not exactly cheap going to a concert. I just want to make this time one to reme...

Well, normally it would be, but this is a bit of a special case. Normally, I'd choose without hesitation to attend the LA Philharmonic's program, but There's a lot of sentimental value and significance in the Pacific Symphony's program though so that's why I'm so so conflicted. There's an article ab...

To which concert should I go?
On November 18, I'm turning seventeen. I just only got into classical music a few months ago and I haven't been to a concert yet. I asked my parents to let me go to a concert as a birthday present and they agreed to let me go! Obviously, I'm quite excited, but I don't really know which concert I wan...

Nobody's mentioned the Op.87, 24 Prelude and Fugues, yet; so, I might as well do it. I feel it's an under-appreciated masterpiece and one of the best contributions of any composer to piano literature, but that's just me. Keith Jarrett's version is pretty good, but it's unconventional. He plays the p...

I'm probably not the most qualified person to answer since I've only been listening to classical music for a few months, but I'll give it a shot. So, you want something angry or depressing? The third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.23 can be interpreted as angry. There's Shostakovich's Strin...

Mozart's Requiem does seem like it's more suited for a concert hall than a church. After listening to it a few times, one does outgrow it. Maybe you'll like Faure's Requiem or John Rutter's Requiem. If you like general sacred music, there's a large number of great pieces. Bach wrote some Masses and ...

gliere reminds of kalinnikov, but he doesn't sound like him. go ahead and listen to some tchaikovsky, he's fun. Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov are the only Russian composers that sound remotely like Kalinnikov, unforturnately, and even that is not a close match and not always predictably similar. Try ...

Music vs. the other arts
I agree with most of the people here that different arts cannot be fairly compared because each art operates on its own set of rules. However, I would say that music is special because it escapes the binds of language and culture and speaks directly to the soul. In the case of instrumental music, pe...

Hello, I'm new here. I'm also new to classical music; I have only started listening to classical music for a little less than two months as of this moment.
