Ok there is no other place to put this!! It could also go into the metal desk but some others here might know.

Basically similar to Haggard.

It's basically doom metal mixed with classical and medieval music with death growls and female soprano.

Tall order. Will try metal desk if no ideas.

I wish my lawn was emo - then it would cut itself. Another "Controversial" Journal

as far as i know there's nothing similar to haggard. closest match one of those female fronted metal bands would be. and i think the best is Epica

Thanks guys, I'm in the process of getting those Schubert works.

My (modern) classical pick of the week:

Ryan Teague - Six Preludes (2005)

Great use of violins on this album, also some mean percussion. I would describe it as "dark yet at the same time light". Sometimes erie, but not to the point you'd want to stop it.

Incidentally, a perfect backdrop for writing verse (with wine).

Happy Birthday D!

If anyone has been listening to CBC Radio 2 lately (CBC=Canadian Broadcasting Company) then you would have heard that this past week was the 100th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich's birthday. I really enjoy about a third of Shostakovich's music, hate another third and am kind of ambivalent to the last third.

My favorite piece is String quartet no.15 in E flat minor, op.144: - I. Elegy - Adagio. If anyone can suggest something as beautiful and sad and haunting just let me know.

Difficult.

The 15th quartet is a bit untypical the way it (mostly) does without his usual "wild musical gesticulation".
The 8th and 10th quartet's first movements are somewhat similar but both are simpler and don't really work as standalone pieces imo (rather as introductions that create a contrast to the following violence).

Maybe the Sonata for Piano and Viola Op. 147, though it's not quite as solemn.

Claire De Lune a masterpiece (piano)
Suite N°1 En Sol Majeur, Bwv 1007 another masterpiece (like all Bach's cello concertos)
La Guerre French renaissance choir, almost sounds like recent human beatbox sometimes.

I suggest Scheherazade. :) ... I just enjoyed it a couple of times this past week.

From Wikipedia:
Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (Russian: Николай Андреевич Римский-Корсаков, Nikolaj Andreevič Rimskij-Korsakov), also Nikolay, Nicolai, and Rimsky-Korsakoff, (March 6 (O.S. March 18), 1844 – June 8 (O.S. June 21) 1908) was a Russian composer, one of five Russian composers known as The Five, and was later a teacher of harmony and orchestration. He is particularly noted for a predilection for folk and fairy-tale subjects, and for his extraordinary skill in orchestration, which may have been influenced by his synesthesia.

About Scheherazade:
Scheherazade (Шехерезада in Cyrillic, Šekherezada in transliteration), Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. Based on The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, this orchestral work combines two features common to Russian music, and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia.

I have just one of his works, the 9th Symphony. :(
I'm a year late so I'm not sure if you're still interested, but if you are I would highly recommend his Piano Trio No. 2 in E-Flat, Op. 100 or The Death and the Maiden Quartet. I would highly recommend the recording with Lynn Harrell, Pinchas Zukerman & Vladimir Ashkenazy.

blue6353 My favorite piece is String quartet no.15 in E flat minor, op.144: - I. Elegy - Adagio. If anyone can suggest something as beautiful and sad and haunting just let me know.

The second movement to Beethoven's 7th symphony.
First movement of the Moonlight Sonata-Beethoven.
The Funeral March-Chopin(played by Van Cliburn)
Piano Trio in A Minor, Op.50-Tchaikovsky
The last movement of Shostakovitch's 2nd Piano Trio
I can probably think of more later.

Music quickens time, she quickens us to the finest enjoyment of time.
