6 composers that you should have on your playlists
List of my favorite works of these formidable classical composers
Antonio Vivaldi
Le quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons)
You’re probably familiar with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. But have you listened to it from the very start to the end, nonstop? If not, you should experience that.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Goldberg Variations
I prefer the harpsichord version because it feels more suitable to the time of Bach (I believe the piano as we know it today was not invented yet).
Cello Suites
One of the best-known works composed by the German.
Suite no. 2 in B minor
St John Passion
Intense.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Don Giovanni
Perhaps you know the duet Là ci darem la mano and the final scene of Il Commendatore from this one.
Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)
And the famous aria of the Queen of the Night and the duet of Papageno and Papagena are in this one.
Requiem in D minor
Rondo Alla Turca
Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Ludwig van Beethoven
Für Elise
Moonlight Sonata
Symphony No. 5
Symphony No. 9
Richard Wagner
Der Ring des Nibelungen
A cycle of four operas: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. The total time is almost 15 hours. Perhaps you will recognize the Ride of the Valkyries in the beginning of act 3 of Die Walküre.
Lohengrin
And certainly you will recognize the Wedding March in this one.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
1812 Overture
Swan Lake
Nutcracker
Arvo Pärt
He is still alive and, according to Wikipedia, he was the most performed living composer in the world from 2011 to 2018.

Für Alina
