Verklarte Nacht by Arnold Schoenberg Wildcard pick is Anthem by Jessie Montgomery
I cannot thank you enough for these recommendations. Love classical music but don’t venture much outside Bach these days. I miss going to see concerts dearly. Glad you love Yuja too, feel like she gets so much bizarre hate from the Classical Is Honorable and Proud crowd.
Totally agreed. There’s a youth club thing for my local orchestra but it’s full of a) people who just want video game/movie scores or b) people who want to be pretentious about how Classical is the Only Music and Hip Hop needs to Die. It sucks. I wish more of us loved classical music alongside other genres. It’s just good music!
