A to Z recommendations.

How's about this: we post in sequence, creating an A-Z of composers and a recommended piece by each.

Allegri — Miserere

Next person posts B for Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bizet, Britten, Byrd, Busoni or whatever other B composer comes to mind. Get it?

Bruckner - Te Deum

I think once we've done one round we can go around again until we run out of composers or recommendations

I thought that was 'U'?

Therefore you would have the relatively simple 'V'

ZorbaTehZ · 29-10-2007 08:44PM

Vivaldi - Violin Concerto No.2 (3rd)

Wagner - Forest Murmurs from Siegfried.

Mwahahaha have fun trying to get those last 3.

Doshea3 · 30-10-2007 12:03AM

Can we safely skip X, Y and Z to avoid consternation? Next time around I'd suggest skipping any letter which is too tricky.

Albinoni — Adagio (bollocks suggestion, I know)

ZorbaTehZ · 30-10-2007 12:14AM

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (1st and 3rd)

funky penguin · 30-10-2007 01:19AM

I know he's not 'classical', but Zimmer, Hans! :eek:

His Gladiator score is wonderful.

For C....

Cohen, Avishai. Might call him Jazz musician more than anything, but the man is a damn fine composer and arranger. Had the privilege of seeing him play last weekend at the jazz festival in Cork. Met him afterwards, and he was a real gentleman. Check out the album "Continuo", especially the track 'Elli'.

In fact, check it out on his myspace if you want. You can download it as well.
