Good Classical or Opera?

[phantomtek]

I'm looking for some really good Classical or Opera songs, something abit different, but there is alot out there so I need your help!

Looking for proper rousing music, stuff that makes a good movie soundtrack, that gets the emotions going!

So far I like:

Vide Cor Meum
Requiem for a Dream (Not classical as such but acceptable)
Crimson Tide Theme
Adagio for Strings (Shits on Tiesto)
Moonlight Sonata (My favourite)
9th Symphony
In the Hall of the Mountain King
1812 Overture
Ride of the Valkyries
Canon D
Time To Say Goodbye
Fur Elise

[Whosthedaddy]

Air on a G string.

It is one of my funeral songs.

There's plenty of classical songs that stir emotions, not sure of names but I know what I like and what I don't.

Last sleep of the Virgin. My favourite piece of all time and I only recently discovered it. The only version on youtube is shit quality, I'll email you it.

Everytime I listen to this one, I well up. Was played at my Grandads funeral. https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo0K_n3VLG4

For just general classical music, I like:

- Tivoli-Rutsch-Walzer Op 39
- Serenade In G, K.525 "Eine Kleine Nachmusik" 2nd Movement
- Humoresque in G-flat Major, Op. 101, #7

Uhhhh, I can't spell my own contribution.
"Iries dae"

Dunno, cant find it on google or youtube, so obviously I am mis-spelling it somehow.

Somebody smarter than me (?Shaggy?) might know what I mean. I think its either Wagner or, um, someone starting with B, or maybe R. LOL ... fukkit, shut up Jen, digging myself a hole here

The first two minutes is very well known, used a lot for ads and some films ... its my favourite piece of music.

The Planets by Holt is very good. Mars is perhaps my favourite. Star Wars theme is always good , as is Imperial March.

My Dad loves anything by Mario Lanza. Ave Maria was played at my Nan's funeral (not Lanza's version though) not so long back so is a touching song for us.

I really like Hayley Westenra. She does some more modern-style stuff too.

I'm rather fond of La Donna e Mobile.
Especially when sung by Pavarotti and Elephants


I can't remember the name of the film, but there is a FANTASTIC fight scene which runs for the entirety of La Donna e Mobile. Incredible.

Yeah but in the second 15-seconds, the drum starts in, bang bang bang ... yeah. And then after 30 secs, it starts something else with them singing and the drum is still there, bang bang bang, extremely rousing.

In fact ... that's an EXCELLENT version of it. Its probably the most spine-tingling version I've heard. I've not noticed before how different orchestras or conductors make a difference to pieces of music. But ... hmmm. Might have to start paying attention.

Get 'Pieces in a Modern Style' by William Orbit.

It's the guy from Orbital doing classical stuff. . . .
It is great

Another shout for Gustav Holst's the Planet Suite. Mars is particularly worth a listen.

My little sister. She gets loads of crap from me skitting her and the like.
she has been all over Europe and won loads of stuff. She has been taught in Italy France and Germany by some of the top people. It is all tosh to me, but the people in the opera circles thinks she has promise. Cow earns a fortune as well.
