you know much more then i do...i have a lot of classical cds...good stuff...can you recommend.....i have great conductors..
i have dvorcak...any other suggestions as well

Oh, I could go on all day. A long time ago, I walked away from an offer to attend Juilliard.

All of it is personal taste, of course, but here's a brief list of my favorites from all periods. Vivaldi - The Seasons. Bach - sonatas, symphonies or the Brandenburg Concertos. Beethoven - anything. Dvorak - symphony #8 and 9, String Serenade. Chopin - any piano music. Debussy - most piano music. Tschaikovsky - anything. Rachmaninov - most anything. Strauss II - if you like the Vienna Waltz. Holst - The Planets.

That's a Top 10. There are a ton more.

believe it or not i like mahler.

I believe it because I do too. His middle to late symphonies are wonderful. Austria-Hungary was a poorly-run empire but they had some serious musical/intellectual talent.

maybe it is my imagination but in the 7th or 9th or 8th i forget which i hear a strain of star trek music......

Legend says that Symphony #1 (Titan Symphony) is borrowed liberally by the origial Star Trek theme. I don't know if it's true. I generally limit myself to symphonies #5-8. Why re-invent the wheel when you can simply borrow great music from the past for your TV show.

thats interesting..i heard it from a different symphony...a later one.
i love the dark overtones of mahler.

Been jammin' to the new Greta Van Fleet album. The kids can rock.

i listened to 3 dog night album - naturally......ill add some thoughts later today...listened on google so not getting full aural picture but it was a interesting glimpse into mega commercial success in 1970 at a time of musical asgar.

I like the first three albums more (eponymous, suitable for framing and it ain't easy.)

Staying a little more on topic, one of my good friends just released his new album. Here is the feature track. You guys will probably not enjoy it very much, but oh well. I'm going to make you listen anyways.

it is a very good song...im not a fan of rap music but this was unique...a country song incorporating rap into the song.......good melody and vocals.
