I used to be into classical, but because of this forum and my addiction of broaden my horizon, finding new genresn aquiring new tastes, I kinda lost my touch with classical music. That's where you might be able to help me. I like Wagner, and beethoven a LOT! So, why don't you give me some examples of other composers I can listen to, who make the same kinda of sound.

So the one likes wagner, then does the one mean that "romantic" (serious inverted commas) era music is the thang that floats the ones classical boat?
I and I am assuming that the one is familiar with "Tristan und Isolde" but Wagner has written a whole load of other operas and operettas, try searching 'Wagner Opera' on Google.
Try Benjamin Brittan, y'might like it. Its kinda similar to wagners songs
Also, as the one likes Wagner, then I and I will labour under the assumption that the discord counterpionts are something the one likes. So try some Schubert songs, or even Carl Orff.
Just a suggestion.

I and I like Brittan a lot, and I and I is into the romantic era, totaly right. Thanx for the suggestions

Okay, the party can start now...Roivas has arrived.

My suggestion is Fritz Reiner's recording of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony. RCA's Living Stereo series is inexpensive and sounds great. You won't know you're listening to a recording from fifty years ago.

Reiner's Richard Strauss recordings are the shiznit.

Reiner's CSO is a well-oiled machine. He pulls up on a flying carpet and takes you on a magical journey. I'm not even joking.

BMG tends to reissue these "Living Stereo" CDs for no damn good reason (read Satchmo's bedtime stories re: jazz reissues). Is it really worth while to make an SACD out of an old two-channel stereo recording? If it's all new to you it shouldn't matter at this point.

I think you'll like Georg Szell's recording of Prokofiev's 5th symphony as well.

Not trying to be difficult, but here's some older stuff to peep:

Let me know what you're looking for specifically.

My dear Stardust, I know what you and the others are attempting to do. Please forgive Satchmo, but I just don't have the time to go over it again. These should cover a great man Composers/periods, etc...., etc...., yada, yada.

, thanx a lot satch.

Well Stardust, if you like Wagner, you should try the symphonies of Anton Bruckner. Bruckner considered himself a disciple of Wagner's musical language. His symphonies sounds very "Wagnerian". After Bruckner, I think that the musical path brings you toward the much complex Mahler. Wagner-Bruckner-Mahler (and than Schostakovich) is a path I also followed myself.
But if you like Beethoven too, you're gonna like symphonic music from several 19th century composers all in some way influenced by Beethoven. For example Mendelssohn, Schumann up to Brahms. But also, why not, Dvorak ans Tschaikowsky.
Bye, and good listening!
