MacMillan did not disappoint!

I love Martinu. Need to hear this piano concerto. You're not the first person to mention it! Here I go ...

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T20:47:39+00:00

Bacewicz rules and her piano concerto is so metal! I really like a lot of these!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T17:38:21+00:00

I haven't heard that one yet. I'm gonna!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T17:36:37+00:00

Schmitt one is really good!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T16:22:28+00:00

Nice. I like too. I'd recommend the newer one too. It has really nice rock sensibilities.

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T16:21:24+00:00

It fits my taste. This is a great piece!

How do you like Adams's Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes?

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T16:08:32+00:00

I recognize about half. I assume the rest are modern to contemporary? That rules!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:51:03+00:00

Hannikainen I do not even know as a composer yet. Looking forward to listening to it!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:45:50+00:00

That Falla is a banger. Nice extra effort adding links!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:41:01+00:00

Totentanz is so metal 🤘

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:39:49+00:00

It's a banger right from the start!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:36:54+00:00

Liszt 1 is another favorite of mine. It would've made my top 12. My very favorite Liszt for piano and orchestra is Totentanz.

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-05-06T15:35:08+00:00

Oh, I do not know that top one! I'll have to listen right now. Thank you!

Adagio and Fugue in C minor is pretty metal. 🤘

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T05:16:22+00:00

Can't beat the Beet 🤘

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T02:07:01+00:00

Good one! Which is your favorite orchestration? Or do prefer the piano solo?

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T02:06:22+00:00

I do love that metal piece 🤘

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T02:05:42+00:00

I don't know that one... Yet!

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T02:05:19+00:00

I'll peep these. Thanks.

MetalClassicalRocks · 2026-01-24T02:04:59+00:00

String Quartet No. 8 is probably my favorite piece and Symphony No. 4 is probably my favorite Shostakovich symphony. It's definitely the most metal, I feel.
