I'm listening a great russian music : Tchaïkovsky, symphony n°5, op.64 : Finale.
I love Tchaïkovsky, and with this piece, i stay glue to my chair !

Dmitri Hvorostovsky has a great version of that song... And he sings the most beautiful version of Moi Genii, Moi Angel, Moi Drug by Tchaikovsky.

Borodin. Tchaikovsky. Whoever wrote Russian Sailor's Dance. Rimsky-Korsakov. Mussorgsky.
Although the Germans and Italians do have valid claims, I believe the greatest "classical" music came from Russia.

Glinka
Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla -- Very exciting. I had a chance to perform it a couple of years ago -- loved it.

Sviridov. You need some of him. Dmitri sings whole CDs of Sviridov. I recommend Petersburg a Vocal poem. If you want I can send samples.

Blayne - Actually I meant I wanted to shoot YOU for getting it stuck in my head. But I did mean it in a very friendly sort of way. Posted by Amilia (Member # 8912) on :
I really like Vladimir Viosky. If you've seen White Nights, he is the one who sings the song that Barishnikov dances to in the empty Bolshoi. Not all of the recordings are the best quality (hardly surprising if you're singing protest songs in Soviet Russia), but the passion in his voice . . . Gives me chills.

Sergei Rachmaninoff. Sergei Prokofiev. Piotr Tchaikovsky.
There are SO many, but those are the three wonderful Russian composers that I will typically listen to. My roommate is double majoring in Russian studies and violin performance, so she brings in a lot of absolutely beautiful Russian classical music too, and plays it... but I don't know what half of it is!

Glad to see someone mentioned Prokofiev. He is a fabulous composer who wrote the music to Peter and the Wolf. His Lt. Kije Suite is one of the greatest pieces of classical music ever written. I am sure everyone knows some of his pieces, the just don't know they know it!

That's strange. I've always found it a bit of a farce of a piece. I think that the bassoon solo in the later movements is super cool. The super coolness even comes out in the solo piano version.
I like his solo piano work much more than the non-piano instrumental works, some of the piano sonatas are awesome, and I like the first and the third piano concertos. I don't know the second, and while I've been part of an orchestra playing the third, when I hear it, I keep thinking of Amy Irving in The Competition, which is a good thing because in that movie, Amy Irving did a job playing the woman of my dreams.
