Vespers(aka All Night Vigil) by Rachmaninov is AWESOME.

i got an lp of organ music by olivier messiaen in a charity shop for 50p once, its totally deadly, i'd recommend him if they have any

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

Mahler, Shostakovich & Bruckner

Anything at all from this label:

This is an excellent introduction covering 20th classical music of all styles and this is a good companion book.

Nova on Lyric FM is deadly for modern and contemporary stuff (amongst other great music).

I head along to the NCH the occasional Friday evening to check out RTE National Symphony Orchestra - cheap seats are only a tenner. This will be well worth checking out.

It's hard to recommend individual composers as they usually go through loads of different phases but Shostakovich, Pendercki, Gorecki, Prokofiev are old reliables.

Part's Lamentate is quite nice and all.

I'm with you on the Shostakovich.
Nice heads up on the NCH there.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Cheers on that Mussorgsky/Prokofiev/Shostakovich yoke, Jasper. I shall head along.
I'm not as familiar with Prokofiev as with the other two, who in turn I've only been listening to for a year or so.

I'm just finishing up that The Rest is Noise book - fascinating stuff, but a curse on my credit card as you kind of have to listen as you read.

I never heard anything by Wagner that I liked much. Or Messaien - was at a concert in Trinity a while ago that had some Messaien organ music on the program, and it sounded like a cat jumping around the keyboard. Some people like that, I hear, but I don't

 

[sugar_referee]

Chopin's pretty rockin, depending on who's playing the stuff.
Berlioz is a fancy gent. Bit of Andre Segovia is great as well. Big fat fingers playing beautiful music.
