62. Symphonie Fantastique (H. Berlioz) - Really??? Since all these are time tested masterpieces, any list will be completely subjective as far as order is concerned.
Just a thought: Don't have things like "Bach's Organ Works" as one number. Specify which one. Or Brahms Piano Concertos 1 and 2 should hold separate spots. Don't put 12 Haydn symphonies in one spot or 5 Mozart piano concertos in one spot either.
As of today, on RUclips, Vivaldi's Four seasons have the highest viewing of all classical works, distancing seriously all others. Four seasons is also. considering all the versions available for download the highest viewed video pre 1982, crushing Beatles, Elvis, Abba, Bee gees, Sinatras, Madonna, Mozart, Beethoven, and surely I would not bet that MJ can resist for long. Second in classical comes Nessun dorma (Puccini), and third Adagio (Albinoni/Giazotto). With over 400 other concerts in thousands of versions each with high viewing , Vivaldi doesn't fear to be approached by anybody at the time being. Four seasons is the highest globally viewed long (40 minutes) video till today, so surpasses MJ too.... Just wait and see... Monteverdi (Orfeo) and Gabrieli (Sacrae symphoniae) deserve the highest ratings but are less known. due to the difficulty to collect a suitable ensemble
This is the most complete list of the best classical music ever made. Almost all of my favourite pieces was in there, and I am going to listen to the rest right now :) Thanks!!
Swan lake and winter isn't classical music swan lake -1800's romantic,victorian Era vivali's winter- 1600's Baroque era this video only showcase's classical era Music 1700's
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Holst's Planets is classical music???? Watch the video again. Also, there are another 3 Tchaikovsky's compositions in the video: the nutcracker, 1812 and the Piano Concerto
+Sara Calvo Well im terriblly sorry to inform you that Mozart was actually a comical guy .. and the video this is only bassed on a single persons view of he/shes favorite music you know
Britannica says "Widely Regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived.. check this out global.britannica.com/biography/Ludwig-van-Beethoven he is the only composer who covers 3 periods..classicism, romantic and with his last quartets jump to post-romantic age...berlioz, schonberg, shostakovich they used the grosse fuge as the model of atonal composition...regards :)
mom: "I'm Bach! what are you doing? " son: "Chopin some Beet-hoven and red pachelBel pepper" mom: "hey, look outside, I have a new Paganini" son: "cool car ma, btw, could you please buy me a Mozartrella cheese and some other gu-Stav? Here's the shopping Liszt" mom: "sure, I'll Handel this" son: " OK, Schu-mann"
It wojld appear A most valid point on your part Jacob; c) But in all faifness, this was a work of fiction, and poetic licence. Although my friend, you had said so yourself when you implied "Chopping" in your original text...
Yes, like some others reviews, I would have liked Elgar in there somewhere, plus possibly one or two others, but, generally this is a very nice choice of music, with some portraits of the composers that I haven't seen before. I congratulate you bornahorn and thank you. Kind Regards
excellent format for communicating such an impressive list. I wish there were more "anthologies" like this available to samples other genres or even other peoples favorite classical lists. It might even be improved upon by adding a little more time for each piece. It would be WELL WORTH listening to even if it took twice as long! Thanks again for this most original presentation!
Loving your list...a great reminder of pieces to pick up as well as new ones to try. It's a subjective list of course and I don't even like #1 on the list though I adore his other symphonies...#7,6,5,3 for examples. Thanks for this....you've reminded me of great beauty.
#48 Beethoven is good. I'm watching a documentary about Churchill and this music was played in the background. It's difficult to find a classical music piece without singing text. So I thought, that this video could also have this music and I found it. Great!
So, benefit of hindsight, what would I change 12 years later? Biggest omissions: Mahler, Symphony No. 9 (replace 1st) Schubert, String quintet (replace Trout) Bach, Cello suites Beethoven, Late piano sonatas Strauss, Four last songs Brahms, Symphony No. 3 (replace 1st) Strauss, Also sprach (replace Till Eulenspiegel) Tallis, Spem in alium Ravel, Daphnis et Chloe Bartok, String quartets Strauss, Der Rosenkavalier Mendelssohn, Octet And yes, I’d put the Bach Mass in B minor higher, in the 20s or 30s
Ediz Eribac My biggest regret in retrospect. I was a latecomer to Mahler. Today I would keep in Das Lied von der Erde but replace Symphony No 1 with the 9th, 2nd and maybe 5th as well. Not easy to cram so much great music into 100 spots!
For me... my favourite classical work of all time (the planets) it has structure: strong, soft, sherzo, joy, weird scary majestic thing, weird, mystery... all in 50 minuts (the perfect timming) and it is a cicle!
I know I'm a huge fan of Beethoven. He's one of the greatest artist who ever lived. But I don't agree with some rankings. First, what is the Missa Solemnis doing at #83 ? It should be in the top ten! Then, where the f*ck are the Hammerklavier and Coriolan Overure ??? And also, the Well Tempered Clavier only #34... Blasphemy
+SvartHal I agree with you... In addition I didn´t find there piano sonatas like Waldstein or Les Adieux, Grose fuge, anything from Fidelio and more... But it doesn´t matter, his 9th symphony was the first :DD
Well have you ever listened to music? I mean actual music, not vapid and insignificant little compositions such as Für Elise. Have you ever listened Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas? Do it, then you'll maybe understand what I'm talking about
Nice work! I compared your list to mine and there's about an 80% overlap, which is amazing considering all the great classical music that's out there. I might quibble with your rankings, and with the way you lump some of the composer's separate works together, but all in all this is a superb list. Let's put it this way: if anyone asks me where to start putting together a classical music collection, I'll refer him or here to your list.
Funny how people take this list the wrong way. This person was trying to make a list of their favorite pieces and everyones criticising it. Sure people have opinions but like having to be like "No WaY iS ThAt BeTtEr ThAn ThIs" like it probably wasnt even meant to rate them in the description it clearly states " MY LIST" not " EVERYONES TOP 100 FAVORITE CLASSICAL PIECES ". Or saying something like " WhErE is blah blah blah". Sorry. It just annoyed me a lot to see so many people criticising the video.
very true, I believe Bach's "Well tempered clavier 1 and 2" and Bach's "Organ works" should be both in top ten, not because im a Bach fan, simply because noone will never write music more perfect than that.
Thomas Tallis (renessaice... they were the first and latest), Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Edward Elgar, William Walton, and more modern comosers... like Malcolm Arnold, David Arnold, J.Barry
I've listened through a few of these top classical music videos, and Sibelius is barely even mentioned. I mean come on, his 5th symphony and the Lemminkainen suite??? pure gold.
This is the entry of the piano in the 1st mvt of his piano concerto no 1. There is a long orchestra exposition there, about 8 minutes or so, and then the piano enters with this incredibly moving melancholic theme.
@@cziffra-eg9st Thank you for that robust, informative and enlightening interjection. However, given that my view is supported by such luminaries as Stravinsky, Schnittke and Gould, I'm content to stand by my assertion
@@cziffra-eg9st It's a fantastic work and a personal favourite of mine, but Beethoven's great talent was his ability to improve constantly and to transcend the encumbrance of his devastating disability. In many ways, he had achieved the apotheosis of orchestral music with it; a young Wagner, witnessing the 9th for the first time, believed that the future of music was being prophesied by Beethoven: the symphony was dead, long live the music drama. Beethoven's himself chose another route; the concentration, balance and purity of the string quartet. The late quartets are stunning in their range and scope and, while some may regret the development, provided a pathway for Schőnberg's development of serialism. Beethoven was, indeed, working on a prospective 10th Symphony at the time of his death. The fragments we possess serve as testimony of something most interesting. The influence of the late quartets could well have created something so miraculous that my initial assertion would have been utterly stultified. Sadly, we shall never know
@@Cruithneach fair enough. My point is, great works will always be disliked by some. Brahms didn't like Liszt's Sonata in B Minor either. Hanslick hated almost everything Bruckner composed.
Great list - off to download some of these right now. And I promise I'm not unsophisticated, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought "and we finish with Die Hard!"
Watching lists like these really encourages me to make my own. Because I've watched quite a few of these lists and I've never found one that I agree with. I was actually thinking that this is the best list I had ever seen...until we got to #1. Nothing against Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, but there was stuff on this list that was exponentially better than that
#84 Debussy - Piano Works
Please Explain how his piano WORKS are a single piece.
Even Bach’s Violin Sonatas And Partitas
@@aydenpostigo2910 Honestly! Those four groups combined is likely more than 250 pieces easily!
Ooooohhhhh
@michelle trushell Well Clair de Lune itself is a movement from a full piano work. This list is *trash*.

Symphonie Fantastique (H. Berlioz) #62 ???????????????????????????????
62. Symphonie Fantastique (H. Berlioz) - Really??? Since all these are time tested masterpieces, any list will be completely subjective as far as order is concerned.
These all sound so gorgeous. I think I just found a new favorite video.
I came here looking for a classical piece I heard on another video and it was #1 in this one :)
I can name about 20 great pieces which are missing
can you name them, would be nice
I love your icon lol
like Mozart's Turkish March and his symphony 25
wolfgang amadeus mozart ik
wolfgang amadeus mozart I know
Classical music is so refreshing and elegant I've always liked music but classical is by far my new fav I'm at 53 I think and so far so good
At last someone puts Beethoven's Symphony 9's 4th movement on top ! Thank you !
Such masterpieces! I wonder what from today will last for many years to come.
If the woke bullying continues then we all know what will happen.
FINALLY FOUND THE PIECE WHICH HAS BEEN ON MY MIND ALL DAY! Thank you! :D
which one do you mean ?
I am also searching for some piece :D
1:34 :)
I came here looking for the exact same one! =D
THANK YOU ! I have searched that song for like a year. 😂🙏
i get goosebumps every time i hear it !!!
Just a thought: Don't have things like "Bach's Organ Works" as one number. Specify which one. Or Brahms Piano Concertos 1 and 2 should hold separate spots. Don't put 12 Haydn symphonies in one spot or 5 Mozart piano concertos in one spot either.
KetchupOnIce I agree. +10000
those works all were composed as one big work. probably.
All of Debussy's piano works?! There are 70+ pieces there, written over his lifetime.
You know, in classical music you sometimes just can 't choose ;)
why is classical music so amazing?
Every person should receive a link to this video. Amazing way to get to know the music you listen to.
As of today, on RUclips, Vivaldi's Four seasons have the highest viewing of all classical works, distancing seriously all others.
Four seasons is also. considering all the versions available for download the highest viewed video pre 1982, crushing Beatles, Elvis, Abba, Bee gees, Sinatras, Madonna, Mozart, Beethoven, and surely I would not bet that MJ can resist for long.
Second in classical comes Nessun dorma (Puccini), and third Adagio (Albinoni/Giazotto).
With over 400 other concerts in thousands of versions each with high viewing , Vivaldi doesn't fear to be approached by anybody at the time being.
Four seasons is the highest globally viewed long (40 minutes) video till today, so surpasses MJ too....
Just wait and see...
Monteverdi (Orfeo) and Gabrieli (Sacrae symphoniae) deserve the highest ratings but are less known. due to the difficulty to collect a suitable ensemble
Turandot is my favorite Puccini... so yeah I would put it on a top 100 list
I knew which would be N. 1, I had the feeling. Eventhough, I cried the momment I heard it. That's how you know that work is ineed the greatest.
Caprice 24?
This is the most complete list of the best classical music ever made. Almost all of my favourite pieces was in there, and I am going to listen to the rest right now :) Thanks!!
What a lovely username you have!
Where is the Swan Lake and Vivaldi's Winter?
Swan lake and winter isn't classical music
swan lake -1800's
romantic,victorian Era
vivali's winter- 1600's
Baroque era
this video only showcase's classical era Music 1700's
or they were just boring pieces
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Holst's Planets is classical music???? Watch the video again. Also, there are another 3 Tchaikovsky's compositions in the video: the nutcracker, 1812 and the Piano Concerto
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart boring?? you don't deserve that user name
+Sara Calvo Well im terriblly sorry to inform you that Mozart was actually a comical guy .. and the video this is only bassed on a single persons view of he/shes favorite music you know
I was searching the internet desperately for a composition I've heard a lot but didn't know the name of. Now I know. Thank you
Beethoven Rules
i respect your honesty
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart But I thought the truth was that all of classical music rules. Unlike the excretion we receive in this age.
Britannica says "Widely Regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived..
check this out global.britannica.com/biography/Ludwig-van-Beethoven
he is the only composer who covers 3 periods..classicism, romantic and with his last quartets jump to post-romantic age...berlioz, schonberg, shostakovich they used the grosse fuge as the model of atonal composition...regards :)
And millions of cows are killed for beef frequently.
Harish Chivukula yeah u r correct
mom: "I'm Bach! what are you doing? "
son: "Chopin some Beet-hoven and red pachelBel pepper"
mom: "hey, look outside, I have a new Paganini"
son: "cool car ma, btw, could you please buy me a Mozartrella cheese and some other gu-Stav? Here's the shopping Liszt"
mom: "sure, I'll Handel this"
son: " OK, Schu-mann"
Oi.....lol's
Nice One.
Chopin is not pronounced choppin', it's pronounced show-pan
It wojld appear A most valid point on your part Jacob; c) But in all faifness, this was a work of fiction, and poetic licence.
Although my friend, you had said so yourself when you implied "Chopping" in your original text...
Fine... if it's not Chopping, what is it...
This is really the best Compilation of Classical Music !
Liebestraume 3, Chopin Ballades, Mozart Sonatas Carnival of Animals, The Firebird...
Thank you for the list
two of my favorite pieces absent in the list are :
Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 17 (Tempest)
Saint-Saëns - Danse macabre
Yes, like some others reviews, I would have liked Elgar in there somewhere, plus possibly one or two others, but, generally this is a very nice choice of music, with some portraits of the composers that I haven't seen before. I congratulate you bornahorn and thank you. Kind Regards
thanks fpr the good work....graet list
Loved the list and could even put the Sibelius Violin Concerto in N. 1! It’s extraordinarily beautiful!
excellent format for communicating such an impressive list. I wish there were more "anthologies" like this available to samples other genres or even other peoples favorite classical lists. It might even be improved upon by adding a little more time for each piece. It would be WELL WORTH listening to even if it took twice as long! Thanks again for this most original presentation!
Where is Pachelbel's Canon?
+Sara Tars I've been searching for this song for 1 hour thanks i saw your comment
+Sara Tars in our hearts :3 it's difficult to make a ranking list without forgeting a master piece...
Probably in the top 100 monotonous, uninspired, cliche, boring pieces of music ever written.
Brett Rogers you can't be talking if you toke the time to put a filter on Hitler.
Sara Tars Pachabels Canon was a Baroque piece not Classical. hope it helps
I really like this list. Most of the Schubert pieces in this are amazing and good. I really liked Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony.
Been searching for a certain song for almost 4 years now. Turns out that it was number one on this list... so glad I stuck through till the end XD
#75 my school orchestra played that last year:dddd we enjoyed it a lot :000
Loving your list...a great reminder of pieces to pick up as well as new ones to try. It's a subjective list of course and I don't even like #1 on the list though I adore his other symphonies...#7,6,5,3 for examples. Thanks for this....you've reminded me of great beauty.
Magic! I love it, Great work. The greatest #!BeeTh
Missing libestraum franz liszt ..
Not top 100
Thank you so so much. I have wanted to hear this for sooooo long... finally.... you are right, it is beautiful.....
Seeing the cello being appreciated with Dvorak Cello Concerto made my day
When Don Giovanni played, chills went down my spine.
I can't "Handel" all this music.
you know what Gershwin said to Mozart and Beethoven?
I'll be "Bach."
OK. I'm done.
Burn him to the stake
@@rowdyeggplaad578 copied comment
you copied someone’s comment dummy
@@Clemson-c5d bruh, who TF did I copy
@@rowdyeggplaad578 oops it’s a copy I meant the ppl that wrote this comment
This list is going to start gang wars
Thank you for putting photos of the composers, this way i could challenge myself to name every artist's face haha
I think making a list of best classical music is stupid, but people should divide up the categories like best concertos, sonatas or operas
Do you think the same 3 years later?
Thank you greatly again my friend.
YES I FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER SEARCHING FOR IT FOR 14 YEARS!!! #100 Peer Gynt Suites thank you so much
I feel a lack of WAGNER!!!!!
um.... the entire Renaissance somehow went missing?? Yikes!!!
altareggo Renaissance was a different musical age than classical
#48 Beethoven is good. I'm watching a documentary about Churchill and this music was played in the background. It's difficult to find a classical music piece without singing text. So I thought, that this video could also have this music and I found it. Great!
where's Mahler 3rd symphony finale???????? And Mozart's clarinet concerto only 93rd?? really? expect for this.. very very nice video, great job
many of these are played in Tom & Jerry
I know, it reminds me when I was a child :3
A lot of cartoons played classical music, back in the 1950's. That's where I first heard these tunes.
Berkeclor92 Yea Franz Lizt raphosdy 2
Oh,... you are one of those...
omg. like, i love it so much thats why i watch that cartoon too!
Good video most of them are underrated
#55-- Albert einstein
Aidan Callahan ha
Jajajajjaa, es Edvard Grieg, pero si se parece...:v
So, benefit of hindsight, what would I change 12 years later?
Biggest omissions:
Mahler, Symphony No. 9 (replace 1st)
Schubert, String quintet (replace Trout)
Bach, Cello suites
Beethoven, Late piano sonatas
Strauss, Four last songs
Brahms, Symphony No. 3 (replace 1st)
Strauss, Also sprach (replace Till Eulenspiegel)
Tallis, Spem in alium
Ravel, Daphnis et Chloe
Bartok, String quartets
Strauss, Der Rosenkavalier
Mendelssohn, Octet
And yes, I’d put the Bach Mass in B minor higher, in the 20s or 30s
Best list I've seen yet! BEETHOVEN 9 NUNBER ONE!
The no1 is my no1!!! Thx
I agree with many of the pieces on this list (but to put the Bach B Minor Mass so low is just insulting). Well compiled. I like it.
I love it ♥
Thanks so much for this list!! I often get a piece of music stuck in my head, this is very useful to find the name.
Great list but not enough Mahler, haha.
Ediz Eribac My biggest regret in retrospect. I was a latecomer to Mahler. Today I would keep in Das Lied von der Erde but replace Symphony No 1 with the 9th, 2nd and maybe 5th as well. Not easy to cram so much great music into 100 spots!
Dude bro why not put the wedding march or wedding day at trollhaugen bro I’m unsubscribing
Your taste is impeccable! Kudos!
For me... my favourite classical work of all time (the planets) it has structure: strong, soft, sherzo, joy, weird scary majestic thing, weird, mystery... all in 50 minuts (the perfect timming) and it is a cicle!
Brilliant compilation. good man
I know I'm a huge fan of Beethoven. He's one of the greatest artist who ever lived. But I don't agree with some rankings.
First, what is the Missa Solemnis doing at #83 ? It should be in the top ten!
Then, where the f*ck are the Hammerklavier and Coriolan Overure ???
And also, the Well Tempered Clavier only #34... Blasphemy
+SvartHal I agree with you... In addition I didn´t find there piano sonatas like Waldstein or Les Adieux, Grose fuge, anything from Fidelio and more... But it doesn´t matter, his 9th symphony was the first :DD
james simons u mad
Fur Elise has nothing to do here
Well have you ever listened to music? I mean actual music, not vapid and insignificant little compositions such as Für Elise. Have you ever listened Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas? Do it, then you'll maybe understand what I'm talking about
+Octavio Arrancarsres or his appassionata
Agree with you
Please respect this guy
as number 1..... requiem of Mozart is de most perfect piece of the classical music
i love holst! thanks for sharing this! ♥
Carmina Burana
Good list. I also would include Purcell's Funeral of Queen Mary and Camina Burana by Carl Orff
I guess he loves his handful of composers and threw few others in for good measures.
I definitely think there should have been more Liszt. La Campanella, Un Sospiro, and Liebestraum no. 3 are MASTERPIECES.
(no hate tho)
1:17 Perfect timing to put the title!
I clicked the link with earphones (full blast)-you nearly killed me!!!!
Lol same here!
I can no longer listen to classical music :-(
Jake O'malley Y, cuz they didn't play the complete pieces?
Noor Pekala cause my ears are bleeding
Nice list 👍 my nr. Classic is Mozart - Lacrimosa
Apart of that, this video is a good compilation of classical music, and I don´t understand how 115 people don´t like it
Nice work! I compared your list to mine and there's about an 80% overlap, which is amazing considering all the great classical music that's out there. I might quibble with your rankings, and with the way you lump some of the composer's separate works together, but all in all this is a superb list. Let's put it this way: if anyone asks me where to start putting together a classical music collection, I'll refer him or here to your list.
Funny how people take this list the wrong way. This person was trying to make a list of their favorite pieces and everyones criticising it. Sure people have opinions but like having to be like "No WaY iS ThAt BeTtEr ThAn ThIs" like it probably wasnt even meant to rate them in the description it clearly states " MY LIST" not " EVERYONES TOP 100 FAVORITE CLASSICAL PIECES ". Or saying something like " WhErE is blah blah blah". Sorry. It just annoyed me a lot to see so many people criticising the video.
good list
Bardzo ładna prezentacja muzyki klasycznej...-:)))
I got the first one right! Also, where is romeo and juliet from Tchaikovsky?
The person who made this list just doesn't appreciate Bach
Alix McCann i know xD
very true, I believe Bach's "Well tempered clavier 1 and 2" and Bach's "Organ works" should be both in top ten, not because im a Bach fan, simply because noone will never write music more perfect than that.
Luka Simic at least in top 15 tho but number 1 😬bro this list bad
True. Who in their right mind would say that Eine Kleine Nachtmusik or Rhapsody in Blue is better than the Mass in b minor?
The sonatas and partitas didnt even get top 10. Smh
Amazingly impressive and concise! Great video!
classical music is addictive
Thomas Tallis (renessaice... they were the first and latest), Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Edward Elgar, William Walton, and more modern comosers... like Malcolm Arnold, David Arnold, J.Barry
I've listened through a few of these top classical music videos, and Sibelius is barely even mentioned. I mean come on, his 5th symphony and the Lemminkainen suite??? pure gold.
This is the best list ever. I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for compiling this!!!
great first choice. its my favorite too
Mozart is my favorite composer
Bach mass in Bm!!! Love it!
This is epic. Thanks for the upload.
This is the entry of the piano in the 1st mvt of his piano concerto no 1. There is a long orchestra exposition there, about 8 minutes or so, and then the piano enters with this incredibly moving melancholic theme.
MAGNIFIC!
Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony and Satie's Gymnopédies should be in this list in my opinion.
Große Fuge Op 133 is not only Beethoven's greatest composition, but the single greatest composition of all time
Many disagree
@@cziffra-eg9st Thank you for that robust, informative and enlightening interjection. However, given that my view is supported by such luminaries as Stravinsky, Schnittke and Gould, I'm content to stand by my assertion
@@Cruithneach that's completely fine. Althogh many would also consider Beethoven's symphony 9 as the greatest of all time.
@@cziffra-eg9st It's a fantastic work and a personal favourite of mine, but Beethoven's great talent was his ability to improve constantly and to transcend the encumbrance of his devastating disability. In many ways, he had achieved the apotheosis of orchestral music with it; a young Wagner, witnessing the 9th for the first time, believed that the future of music was being prophesied by Beethoven: the symphony was dead, long live the music drama.
Beethoven's himself chose another route; the concentration, balance and purity of the string quartet. The late quartets are stunning in their range and scope and, while some may regret the development, provided a pathway for Schőnberg's development of serialism.
Beethoven was, indeed, working on a prospective 10th Symphony at the time of his death. The fragments we possess serve as testimony of something most interesting. The influence of the late quartets could well have created something so miraculous that my initial assertion would have been utterly stultified. Sadly, we shall never know
@@Cruithneach fair enough. My point is, great works will always be disliked by some. Brahms didn't like Liszt's Sonata in B Minor either. Hanslick hated almost everything Bruckner composed.
Mozart's DOOONNNNN GIOVAAAAAAAAAAANNNNIIIII is my favourite classical music piece!
Great list - off to download some of these right now. And I promise I'm not unsophisticated, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought "and we finish with Die Hard!"
Pachelbel's Canon in D, O Fortuna by Baruna, Also Spoke Zarathustra by Strauss, Les Prelude by Liszt
This better have allegretto...
**OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH!!**
My personal favourite is #19 (J. Brahms - EIn Deutsches Requiem) - great to hear and sing!
OMFG THANK YOU!
I actually really like classical, which is apparently kinda weird for a 16 year old, but i can't name any songs :(
Edward Elric its not weird ❤❤
A reply to a 2 year old comment. Wasn't expecting that.
Edward Elric haha i was not expecting a reply from you either , but hey thats cool 👌😊❤
Fma fan and loves classical music. I like you
I'm 16 now and I love classical music too :)
Watching lists like these really encourages me to make my own. Because I've watched quite a few of these lists and I've never found one that I agree with. I was actually thinking that this is the best list I had ever seen...until we got to #1. Nothing against Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, but there was stuff on this list that was exponentially better than that
I watched this a long time ago!!
