I'll take Tchaikovsky.
Shostakovich and Gershwin as runners-up, I think.
We were sort of hoping our son would play the cello but he wants to play the drums.
An album I highly recommend (which, actually, is not Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, or Gershwin) is Vivaldi's Cello |
Favorite composer, at least for now (my favorite anythings seem to change with the seasons): Chopin. Trying to learn Rondo a la Mazur, beautiful piece. Far and away my favorite piano composer.
Also love Rachmaninoff. Piano Concertos 1, 2, 3.
Beethoven's 9th as far as entire symphonies go--but that's hardly a unique pick.
Lately have been loving listening to Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, i think it's Opus 35. Love the 3rd movement, listen to it almost daily.
I also really like Aaron Copland, esp Appalachian Spring.
Many, many others but those are current faves.
Percussion is a great instrumental family.
