Parsifal is the greatest work of music ever written. You cannot argue with this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s88hmJ_osjY
can you recommend other classical pieces?i don't know where to start with classical music
>>123665426You start with easy to appreciate pieces like Beethoven's symphonies, Mozart's operas, Tchaikovsky's ballets, etc. Then you expand your knowledge of these composers and listen to their other works, and then you listen to other composers like them, and then you start studying music theory to better understand them, and then you've started with classical music.
>>123665426Carmina BuranaWagner's middle and late period operasMozart's RequiemHandel's MessiahCarmen (opera)anything by Verdianything by Puccini (Nessun Dorma as performed by Pavarotti is particularly moving)The Four Seasons by Vivaldi1812 Overture by TchaikovskyMiserere mei, Deus by AllegriThe Blue Danube by Johann Strauss IIThe Queen of the Night aria as performed by Diana DamrauThe Flower Duet by DelibesVesti La Giubba by Leoncavallo (a must hear)Dies Iraemost Beethoven stuffa lot of /mu/ likes Bach, though I'm not a fan, but he's worth mentioning for sureGott sei uns gnädig by Christoph GraupnerThat should get you started. You can explore on your own from there.
>>123665377Bach's St Matthew Passion mogs that and everything Wagner wrote
>>123665965>Bach, though I'm not a fan???
>>123665965>Wagner's middle and late period operasBy this do you mean starting with Dutchman or the Ring?
>>123665980t. has never listened to wagner and wants to sound smart
>>123666005Too intellectual of an approach to music. Sure, it "sounds nice", but it doesn't punch you in the gut.
>>123666035Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman), Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, all four in the Ring cycle, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Parsifal (though I personally never especially cared for Meistersinger).I was originally just trying to save myself the time of typing up all the names lol.
>>123665426>i don't know where to start with classical musicYou start depending on what you already listen to and like.
>>123666142>I personally never especially cared for MeistersingerTsk tsk, it's always so underrated by people. It's so interesting because Wagner is doing exactly the opposite to everything in his other works. And the story is really beautiful.
