| I've taken a liking to classical music, specifically Bach as of late. Anyone recommend any specific pieces/concertos/etc. that I should find? I'm completely new to classical in general...but I'd like to grab the stuff that's really stellar. There's so much to sift through right now. Thanks! |

| I've been listening to some of the Brandenburg concertos recently. I also really enjoy listening to his organ works. It's almost a general rule with Bach though that if he wrote it, it's good. He wrote so much I haven't even begun to hear the full scope of what Bach meant musically and few people have. Since he wrote such an incredible amount I would consider checking his music out by instrumentation in the begining. |

| check out dvorak's symphony #9 from the new world. One piece is called allegro con fueco or something but it is simply awesome. Anything he did from the "New World" is pretty cool. |

i would have to say his Mass in B Minor is my favorite. but when you stop to consider the amount of bach i've heard as compared to the total amount, you have to take that with a grain of salt.
as for other classical, i suggest stravinsky's 3 Ballet Russes: Petrushka, The Firebird Suite, and Le Sacre du Printemps. also his Symphony of Pslams is awesome. and Rismky-Korsokav's Russian Easter is awesome. Respighi's "The Pines of Rome" is excellent. there's just so much good music. |

Played on the upright bass by Edgar Meyer. That is astonishing. |

| Rabbath was an animal. Edgar is as well, or maybe an alien from another planet. |
