Piano music doesn't get better than that. Chopin was not called the "poet of the piano" for no reason.
Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Shostakovich, many more, all have moments greater or equal to Chopin on the piano... especially Liszt.
Ah, the Planets, by Gustov Holtz. Fun and awesome! I love the Mars part.
Erm, it's Gustav Holst, not Gustov Holtz.
Vivaldi is for wimps.
No, Vivaldi is for mathematicians.
although he could have played it the way it was meant to be played. He knew how to play it properly, but he sold out to the audience.oh great, a purist (of sorts, not a consistent one). Things such as this are making the artform a museum piece.
All the experts that I know consider Beethoven's 9th to be the greatest Symphony ever written.Those experts aren't worth your time. The greatest experts will concur that Beethoven is neither greater or lesser than Ralph Vaughan Williams.
I concur. Not Mahler, mind you, but Beethoven.Mahler has good reason to protest, for he was one able to produce symphonies each as great and unique from each other as Beethoven's.
Rachmaninoff was the greatest Romantic era composer everCome now, surely you can't say this. The true Romantic era was 1830s-1860s, Rachmaninov, althought technically being in the far reaches of the Romantic descript, was writing in a much more archaic style than his contemperaries, who were composing modern, impressionist, avante-garde, and neo-classical stuff.
