In 2021 I am trying to get into classical music. I hate anything baroque and frankly find everything boring until like the 1850s on, but from there I start to very much enjoy it. This will be a thread of favorites found throughout the year.

Samuel Barber, Essay For Orchestra No. 1, Opus 12 https://youtu.be/p2Wem-LUCRY ">https://youtu.be/p2Wem-LUC...

Arvo Pärt, Fratres https://youtu.be/7PS5QMsGaRw ">https://youtu.be/7PS5QMsGa...

Samuel Barber, Violin Concerto Op. 14, movement II https://youtu.be/2W0KYLxooKU ">https://youtu.be/2W0KYLxoo...

Always good to find a new, interesting take.

Debussy, Clair de Lune https://youtu.be/wy2qDsyw8b0 ">https://youtu.be/wy2qDsyw8...

Erik Satie - Gnossienne No. 4 https://youtu.be/r0sUYscxUL8 ">https://youtu.be/r0sUYscxU...

Satie - Gymnopedie No. 2 for orchestra https://youtu.be/YRDkJVvM81o ">https://youtu.be/YRDkJVvM8...

Satie - Gymnopedie no. 1 for orchestra

Arranged be Debussy (!) which makes it especially devastating. https://youtu.be/YqKpAHvrOjw ">https://youtu.be/YqKpAHvrO...

This 2021 exercise has pooled into me mostly just listening to Sam Barber over and over again.

Intermezzo from Vanessa https://youtu.be/gh1vCDvw-7w ">https://youtu.be/gh1vCDvw-...

I am slightly obsessed with this piece, esp. movement 2 (10:26). I could live without movement 3 if I had to.

Barber - Violin Concerto, Op. 14 https://youtu.be/arZzczeU_0c ">https://youtu.be/arZzczeU_...

But I just realized this Pärt piece and performance is not in this thread, and I don’t know why.

Arvo Pärt - Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten https://youtu.be/94ByTxhtT38 ">https://youtu.be/94ByTxhtT...
