help with getting into more classical music please

[leo42066]

I would like to get into more classical music but i don't know many artist/composers. I know the top guys Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. If anyone would like to suggest some other artist/composers that would be great.  Thank you in advance.

If you like metal you could listen some "Neoclassical metal" as Warmen.

And also Antonio Salieri.

I'm really partial to Wagner.  I think he's kind of the 'heavy metal' of classical music, lots of energy.  Unfortunately, he was the ofiicial composer of the third reich.

If you are jewish like the old dinosaur then you can skip Wagner. But is all about music and not politics I think , so I wouldn't care. :)

Well actually he didn't do anything wrong but support the regime of this country like every german at that time and to be one of the most famous composers of classical music of all times. But hate and phobia is always there from ignorant people who are very influenced from political interests from somebody else.

If you like high energy music, the composer Paganini would be kind of like the "violin speed metal" of classical music.

depending on what instrumentation you like and what sytles you like i guess it varies alot, however as a classical pianist (and now a rocksmith enthusiast!) i can recommend chopin, as a piano player he is at least 50% of what you will ever be asked to play, for sort of "emotional/sentimental" music look for his nocturnes for crazy skillful and still great music i recommend listening to some of his etudes, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnWo8PxrOR4

Since I'm Finnish I must say Sibelius:

 

 

Vivaldi is quite notable.

 

Pachelbel 

 

Russians finest:

Smetana - Moldau is one of the greatest classical songs. I listened this quite much as a kid.

[dazedandbemused]

Try some Rossini, like

 

Or maybe Mussorgsky might be more your thing
