Hi,
I have a few faves, but all classical and older pieces.
There are two pieces you need to listen to right now:they arer older, but I want you to listen to classics, go listen to these: tell me what you think.
1) Hector Berioz: symphonie fantastic ( no 5), or the whole thing: of course the whole thing will take a while to get through. Try to read about the story behind it.
2) Penderecki: threnody for the victims of hiroshima. this is scarey
I honestly believe the untimate composer and piece to listen to (in its entire form) is Hector Berlioz- Symphonie Fantastique- Now this is not a modern piece, but Wow. The story and themes behind it, is truely in a world of its own. I had to stuy this piece for a year. I remember the haunting witches theme.
Modern Classical: Phillip Houghton, Richard Charlton, John Cage.
Old faves: Chopin (great piano solos), Penderecki (I think thats how to spell it??), Penderecki has chilling music, esp, his thronody for the victims of Hiroshima, which has an eerie sound, a wall of violins which are also similar in cult movies such as Phsycho. - listen to this: Penderecki- threnody for the victims of hiroshima.
