Thank you sooooooooo much! I’m really into relaxing instrumental/classical music. I will listen to all of these! Thanks for sharing your favorite classical music! And I’ll share some too
Recommended songs
Honestly all of Go Seo Yee is really good. Very relaxing. Another interesting one is Nujabes which is very experimental and maybe certain Dj Okawari songs like “peacock” So recommended artists are
Go Seo Yee
Nujabes
Dj Okawari
Ludovico Einaudi
Kishi Bashi
Hope anyone interested in instrumental music finds something they like here. The Marika song FOUND can be found on band camp at high res. The other ones can be a little bit more tricky but I can help
Yesssssssssssss! Another Nujabes brother. You should really check out the CYNE album WATER FOR MARS. Cise Starr is part of CYNE and its really good. Great hip hop group
I dont really care about how mainstream an artist is if the music is good I just listen to them. just cause these guys need more love I would say take a look at MIDICRONICA my favorite japanes rap group they are most well know for their song san francisco as one of the end themes for samurai champloo but jor a japanese rap group I reccomend #501 probably my favorite album from them. I dont understand anything they say but their flow is oddly hypnotic
@Coma I thought the two guys that made up Tech Itch were also the producers for Kosheen when Kosheen was still a thing. Also, really enjoy the Current Value remix of Bjork’s ‘Thunderbolt’ have you heard that one?
Rachmaninoff piano concertos are a decent place to start. Holst - The Planets, Franz Liszt piano concertos, Carl Orff - Carmina Burana, Camille St Saens orchestral pieces, Sergei Prokofiev - Romeo & Juliet, also his Alexander Nevsky piece. There’s a lot out there. Love Wagner, but have to go with the recordings without the singing.
@andrewwardell If im right, Deformer and Technical Itch are the founders of Tech Itch Records and Deformer was also a member of Kosheen. I think i have read that in the DogsonAcid Forum sometime ago.
And for sure i have heard the CV remix of Thunderbolt. I love the combination!
Ok, i use dropbox share with my friends, the only condition is you don’t share the url to avoid problems. After you download it you can share it. Also if you got cool jmusic pls share too
Beethoven’s late sting quartets. Loads of great versions out there. Some of the very finest music ever.
Ditto all of Shostakovich’s. The Borodin Quartet is perhaps best, but again there are loads to choose from. Number 8 is his most famous. But every one gets better the more you listen.
Stravinsky Petrouchka. Haydn’s 88th. Copland’s Music for a Quiet City. Bach’s Golbergs (obviously Gould, but Murray Perahia’s excellent as well.)
More contemporary, Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, and Different Trains.
Book recommendation (since you appear to like Mahler) All the Rest is Noise by Alex Ross.
I have always liked Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. I’m also a fan of Mussorgsky (Pictures at an Exibition), Borodin, Rachmaninov (Symphonic Dances) and Tschaikosky (1812). Chopin, Vivaldi (4 Seasons), and Paganini are very good as well.
