Btw the most popular composer during the Medieval Era is Hildegard Von Bingen. For Renaissance, I heard Josquin Des Prez was really good. I know it's a long shot that anyone on spurstalk would enjoy this music though.
Malmsteen doesn't go overboard in that song. He used to be good. Now he is just doing a wank fest like you would say. He just wants to improv over everything with the same patterns and scales over similar progressions. Just listen to that one song.

Neither Mozart nor Beethoven ever got the love they deserved. Schubert died on a couch and nobody really gave a . People thought Satie was a moron. Stravinski and Debussy got booed routinely. It's probably wise to not trust the tastes of ST, but trusting the tastes of history is probably an even worse gambit.
I'll go with Baroque due to the sheer opulence and fanciness of the music. makes me feel like a royal prince or something. If only people still used Harpsichords and wrote fugues
the 90's
pantera and alice in chains -- classical rock ftw
Frederick in' Chopin
Baroque ended in 1750 with Bach you bull er
Telemann, CPE Bach, and Handel say hi. Alright it is more of a fusion of baroque and new classical ideas. And I probably deserve to be hated on. I've been a lazy and disrespectful poster.
les cyclopes is my favorite baroque song
piece?
seems like most classical music b4 the 1900s get played alot by instrumentalists, compared to whatever is compose after that.....is the quality gone down or lacking really good composers and instrumentalists?
i look at this thread http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthre...ghlight=guitar
any of them play classical music?
A good deal of 20th century music went in a different direction as time went on - atonal, minimalism, 12-tone, etc. none of which are terribly pleasing to the ear. Not pleasing = fewer people to attend concerts or buy recordings. Philip Glass is one of the few mid-late 20th century composers to get much buzz in the greater community but his stuff drives me drives me drives me up drives me up me up me up the me up the up the up the up the wall.
And while there is such a thing as classical guitar, I wouldn't expect Rolling Stone to have their pulse on any of the great classical guitarists (John Williams, NOT the composer, comes to mind). If you want more insight into this field, you might visit http://www.guitaralive.org/home.html .

If you (anyone) were trying to sell classical music to someone who had never heard it before, what would be the best sampler?
Vivaldi would be my top choice. Vivaldi's Four Seasons by Biondi. And for those not too big into Baroque and prefer the Romantic, Tchaikovsky would be my top choice. Of course Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin should be mentioned as well but not as a starter imo. Find a composer you like and there are ways on google to find composers similar to that one in style.
For me, its definitely the romantic era. Fans of this era know that the romantic era wasn't "romantic." Rather, this era of classical music produced some of the darkest, most creative, passionate, intense and complex brand of music.
The range of instruments that are potentially involved was awesome as well. From traditional folk instruments to the inclusion of today's commonplace instruments like piano, french horns, trumpets, etc.
The better movement of the Palladio series:and this one from a commercial I remember when I was a kid:
I think Saint-Saens Danse Macabre is a great place to start. Its catchy, dark, layered, and relatively mainstream:

Lots of good answers here. I like Baroque and Romantic. Sibelius is probably one of my favourite composers.
do you prefer it on a piano or classic guitar?
Is that question directed at me? Either way.. good question. But too difficult to answer. It depends on a lot of things.. genre, mood, style, theme, etc etc.
The piano is more versatile because you can literally plug it into any genre and make it work. The classical guitar is better suited for slow paced, romantic style songs. Although the death metal band Opeth is able to break tradition and incorporate it beautifully into their songs.
serenade
romance d armor
in guitar sounds smooth
I agree. Great Era!
