Favorite composer @ favorite work?


None of us, will ever get tired from, Mozart's "Jupiter", or Beethoven's "fifth"...but the one i am really "discovering" is Anton Bruckner! His, entire 4th, "Romantic" is my all-time favorite! How' bout you?

My current fav is Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki. Amazingly powerful, very unlike most classical though.
Megasam! Thanks for the recommendation ! Also, never accept Bruckner simphony, unless it bears the wording:"an Antonio Bruckner original"!
Megasam In answer to which composer's 1st can compare to Tchaikovsky's I would have to say Schuman's 1st and only in A minor which IMO is among the best of the genre in the Romantic era.
Goldmark Violin Concerto is a real treat that most have never heard of. If has been recorded by Itzhak Perlman and Sarah Chang. Give is a listen sometime.
For you Bruckner fans, give a listen to Symphony #8, Vienna Philharmonic / Herbert von Karajan on Deutsche Grammophon.
