I usually avoid highlights albums because they only ever feature the most famous pieces of the composers presented.

Yeah but I've not heard them.
I really want a list of "essentials", I'd go to /mu/ for that but they have fuck all on classical.
Anybody tried the 1001 Classical Recordings book? There's the full list [url=http://www.1001beforeyoudie.com/]here[/url].
Can't be asked for those 1001 albums before you die. Although it contains great stuff I'd rather search with my own instincts.
It's not the 1001 albums you must hear before you die, it's the 1001 classical recordings you must hear before you die.
yeah, you just linked to the main website bro.
Which has lists for all the books. You have to click on one of them.
What's the point of buying the books when the list is there?
It's much more convenient. I ordered it from Amazon, 960 pages, only $16.
If the book is anything like the 1001 albums one then there should be a track listing of the album, cover art and a description. And since I know nothing about classical that would be helpful for me.
It's not possible to have a bookmark on the list on the site either, it's a bit tedious to find the album in question (since the way it works is they choose a composition and then the best recording of it), you have to find who's interpreting the composition and the catalogue number and then Google that.
Last time I saw the book it was just a dull list with no info.
Pretty sure you saw the wrong one, there's almost one page per album.

I like the "other recommended recordings" list too, with brief notes to establish how they are different.
that looks quite cool actually.

I will be jumping into this thread within the next week to give some insight into great pianists and some opera, because that is my ballpark and I'm a bit of a nut about it. Stay tuned
For now though, I'll go into a little detail about what I just posted.
Schubert's fantasy in F minor D.940 was a keyboard piece written for 4 hands, composed in 1828 and was published posthumously in 1829. It is a fantasy split into 4 so-called "movements" that flows from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other and back again. It is one of my all time favorite classical/romantic pieces, and this is my all time favorite performance of it, played by the legendary Soviet pianist Emil Gilels and his daughter Elena. I hope you enjoy this sensitive and moving father-daughter performance.

Liszt apparently sight read this and then brahms fell asleep during a performance of his B minor sonata, pretty cheeky really.
Anyone know any fast paced music like william tell overture? And strong bass music as well.

Liszt could sightread pretty much anything, there's an anecdote that he sightread Griegs violin sonata and played both the piano and violin part by himself. and then he could replay it all after playing it once. (without looking at the sheets)

maybe this
Baroque was a pretty ballin' period, but the romanticism movement in every medium is pretty much the best pre-1910 art movement.

Speaking of Chopin, as an aspiring keyboardist, I actaully see JS Bach as more of an inspiration to me
