I was in an orchestral band in high school, but I was definitely being a “cool” person at the time and never really listened or cared about it. I recently started listening to some “western art music”(you know, what the kids are calling it) and have been enjoying it. Sitting through full pieces still sucks but I have enjoyed listening to sections over and over again.
I’ve really found myself enjoying Satie recently and listening to Gnossienne 1 (lent) quite a bit.
(I really like Anne Queffélec’s playing of it specifically)
I’ve been liking JSB recently too. I like the 2 bourees in his 3rd cello suite.
(I like Mstislav Rostropovich’s playing)
I like contrapunctus 9 from the art of fugue too.
(I like it with just the piano better, but wasn’t able to find one I liked on YouTube)
I always enjoyed Holst’s the planets, they’re like movie music for your mind. I’d have to say I’m pretty basic when it comes to my taste in them;(I like the Berlin philharmonic’s recordings)
I like Mars
Jupiter
