There's a great "Best of Chopin Nocturnes" somewhere on youtube, it's bringing you completely down to earth.

However, my favorite piece by Charlie Choplin (trolol) is his Revolutionary. There's only one weirdo who managed it to play in the original speed: Sviato Richter

This may be trite or hackneyed for classical fans, but one of my favorite pieces of music, nonetheless:

^ That is such a good one Bones. A classic Classical :D Speaking of classic Classicals, if that is a thing. I raise your Four Seasons with Bach's Solo Suite No. 1 for Cello in G Major.

it isnt called "classical" for nothing, we neednt be posh about our obscure references nor be ashamed of our favourites, as this shit is just generally pretty awesome.
so here you go, two of my all time favourites that people always give me shit over:

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tr0otuiQuU
Pachelbel - Canon in D Major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcJuZIUeBME

good shit.

In case you don't know about him, I heartily recommend watching some of André Rieu's concerts, like the one in Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k29G6gdNPXc

He has a light and cheerful approach to classical music and draws crowds like only few people can.

I don't have an ear to discern if his orchestra is symphonic level, but it's close enough for me.

@rho: Moonlight Sonata is one of my favorites as well. You can not beat these songs, that is why they are so famous. True music, it is the universal language that all can understand.

@slartie: did you know Andre Rieu is Dutch? 2nd, did you know Sir Anthony Hopkins is an amateur composer and wrote a waltz himself, and his dream was to have Andre Rieu play it, which he did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LGVGekPSzo (i believe this is the clip with Mr Hopkins in the audience). it is a really good piece of music as well. cool shit.
Oh yes, more trivia: Andre Rieu was pretty much bankrupt because he is such a perfectionist that he insists on travelling together with all his sets and all the original costumes etc, costing him many moneys worth of shipping costs etc :)

@rho, yep and yep. He's from Limburg or something. I listen to "And the waltz goes on" from time to time. It really is a great piece.

Didn't know about the money troubles, but I can believe it :)

Edit: In the vein of light and cheerful classical music I'm reminded of Nicole Pesce.

Not only is she having fun, but she's a very skilled classical pianist. In turn she reminds me of one of my countrymen, Victor Borge. But then I think we'd need an entirely different thread.

Now, we cannot leave this Mozart out (at least I didn't see it whilst scrolling through?). A true classic.

Mondscheinsonate, 3rd Movement. Fucking great, and finally played with the correct pedal technique, (IMO), kudos Friedrich Gulda.

forget about lovely Wim Mertens. he is a contemporary classical composer from Belgium.

4 Mains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OGNaFqCTbg / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMKfsnfnyIU (live with a pretty Asian lady)
Maximizing the Audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3SYr_KQNxE
Often a bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVtfe2D_iu8
Struggle for Pleasure (Proximus): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2xa46ytiSs
Yes, I never did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl04IA-1ZHY
I don't even know what this one is called but his pianation is really so nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IogcOJBU56w

and this is one of my all time favourites. this is so wonderfully spirally, growing and growing and growing until it can't go any further and it tumbles. fantastic for tripping or just spacing out. Wound to Wound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pN8yc0IZCM

More like the Debian, he influenced so many others. Have someone play you a Mozart piano sonata and an early Beethoven one without telling you which is which.

re: Sviato Richter, that shit is insane!!! If we're doing old videos, here's a great one; Oistrach plays Debussy...

Listening to Penderecki's Polymorphia right now (used in Kubrick's The Shining). Ear bending...
