I’ve been listening to classical again after responding to an ask seeking recs this week

My playlist where I dumped some of the songs I listened to. I’ve played a lot of these like Danse Macabre so it really takes me back I need to start seeing the symphony again it’s actually sick that I don’t bc I have one of the best symphony orchestras in the world like ten minutes away from my house 🤨

Way Too much classical music & beach boys

I got Apple Music classical recently. absolutely love it. If you’re reading this and haven’t taken the classical-pill yet, you have to give it a try. It has all the calming space out lock in effects of ambient music— but if you care to really tune into the music itself it’s astonishing how beautiful it can be. Growing up, I thought it was music for the diaperproles— babies & senior citizens. I was so wrong. Such grace, such clarity, such overwhelming force, such tenderness, such vehement, electrifying ENERGY all expressed completely wordlessly. By a means that surpasses words. Wordcelsisters, we never stood a chance… I’ve been on a huge Russians kick currently. Prokofiev, Rachmoninov, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Tvhaikovsky. Some pieces that I’ve really been enjoying recently, in no particular order: Schumann’s piano concerto in A minor performed by Marta Argerich. Rossini’s overture from la gazza ladra Prokofiev‘s dance of the knights from Romeo & Juliet Stravinsky’s rite of spring Vladikir Ashkenazy’s rendition of Chopin’s 15th nocturne I’m also convinced that “Smile Sessions” is the best pop album ever made. If anyone can provide any evidence to the contrary I’d be delighted. But in the meantime, I’ll continue listening to ”The Teenage Symphony to God” front to back ad infinitum
