Default Re: Orchestral Anyone???

I played Viola for 9 years and Double Bass for 4 so I have built a mild appreciation for symphony music...

Anything by Stravinsky and Dvorak is good in my book, it is dynamic, fun, modern stuff. Stravinsky is actually a bastard, he did some fun things with dynamics and time signatures that were never done before....

Brahms Hungarian Dances are good.

Ravel's Bolero is good.

Paganini's Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Minor is one of my favorites....

Rimsky-Korsakov is another one of my beloved favorites...I love Capriccio Epsagnol and Scheherazade

Lately I've been digesting Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor, D. 759 (unfinished) which is just EPIC.

I do listen to quite a bit of orchestral music, not a huge fan of Opera but I'm trying to get into it.
