SSC Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 In the same idea of the http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/pop-music-thread-go-15243.html thread. Post your favorite stuff. No bickering, no dissing, no attacks and no walls of text. If you don't like the stuff: nobody cares and keep it to yourself. I'll start with some of my most favourite stuff, though of course I like a lot more than I can possibly grab out of youtube, but still! YouTube - Krzysztof Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima YouTube - Stockhausen Klavierstuck X (1/3) YouTube - Stockhausen Klavierstuck X (2/3) YouTube - Stockhausen Klavierstuck X (3/3) YouTube - Pierre Henry - 05 - Too Fortiche YouTube - Pierre Schaeffer - Etude Noire (Sadly not complete. Do yourself a favor and get the entire thing if you like it.) YouTube - Peteris Vasks - Te Deum f Quote
BEder Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 wow. I'm not going to post anything yet. I'll just listen to Pierre Henry instead. Quote
Spoon284 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Messiaen - Oiseaux Exotiques Xenakis - Phlegra Boulez - Explosant-Fixe And one special mention: Robert Simpson's 9th symphony, which I think is a masterpiece. Unfortunately it isn't on youtube so the best I can give you is samples on amazon: Here Quote

Daniel Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Not particularly that movement, but it's all that's on Youtube. Ditto....just anything by this composer. YouTube - Black Dyke Mills Band - Blitz - 01 - Blitz (part 1/2) One of the all time great brass pieces, by Derek Bourgeois. Fabulous piece. Epic win. Skip to 1 minute in to get to the start. Conductor looks strangely like Schoenberg. YouTube - Soundings by John Williams - World Premiere Brilliant concert piece by Williams; one of his best. YouTube - David Rouault - Gregson Trumpet Concerto 1st movement I REALLY dig this trumpet concerto. All 3 movements are great. Gorgeous. I find a lot of his writing very sensitive & tasteful. YouTube - STRAVINSKY : Rite Of Spring - V.Gergiev (1/3) Can't leave out Le Sacre. Good version too. Epic brass. Some of these have been 21st century, but I'm not too worried. Quote
