Going for Piano Concerto #23 here. #21 (the one from "Elvira Madigan") may be more famous, but for me, nothing beats the wonderful minor key second movement of #23.

I listen to Symphony No 40 a lot (this morning in fact) but I really don't know enough. I'll check that out.

Bassoon Concerto (Largo), but as a former bassoonist, I'm biased.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

I think I've never heard a bassoon concerto. I'll look for that too. I guess I've mostly just heard WAM's orchestral stuff.

requiem

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

What are good performances of the concertos?

For correctness' sake, the second movement of the Bassoon Concerto is Andante Ma Adagio, not Largo. My mistake.

I have a feeling I'll change my mind 4749 times on this thread. I too love the Requiem, and the Minuetto of EKNachtmusik, and ...

Sundar, I've heard a bit of Mozart's small ensemble work (years ago, from performances in high school) and it's also stellar. I wish I could remember which exact pieces they were, but fuck, you can't really go wrong with Mozart.

Sundar: Murray Perahia and ECO for piano concertos.
None better.

everybody loves a requiem

"March of the Priests" from The Magic Flute. Less is more.

"Ave Verum"

― Joe (Joe), Thursday, 7 April 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

I think I could sing the choral bass part to the entire Requiem right now from memory.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Mozart, Mozart...he's that painter guy who cut off his ear, right?

Hmmm...I know I like the Requiem. And some of those piano concertos (the popular ones), but don't know which ones. Which is just as well, because no matter which ones I choose, some better-informed ILMer will scoff at my choice & say "So-and-so is 100X better than whatever", exposing my ignorance for all to see. And I can't let that happen!

geir h not wrong re piano conc.#23 in a maj, ii: adagio

― mark s, Saturday, 15 September 2018 18:45 (seven years ago)

It's a good one.

― The nexus of the crisis (Sund4r), Sunday, 16 September 2018 18:47 (seven years ago)

such a dull title though

― niels, Monday, 17 September 2018 06:41 (seven years ago)

23 is beautiful but it's no 24, not being facetious - 24 is my fave Mozart piano concerto 4life!

― calzino, Monday, 17 September 2018 08:39 (seven years ago)

Hard to say (duh). Possibly the 5th Violin Concerto. Or Don Giovanni. Or the 4th String Quintet.

― pomenitul, Monday, 17 September 2018 08:42 (seven years ago)

piano concerto no 23 holds a place in my heart for being my gateway into classical, via a knackered looking old tape in the 80's. But probably something I've sort of played out, but then one day it might take me by surprise again.

― calzino, Monday, 17 September 2018 08:56 (seven years ago)

Xpost is that string quintet K515? If so, awesome choice

― cheese is the teacher, ham is the preacher (Jon not Jon), Monday, 17 September 2018 11:09 (seven years ago)

I was thinking of the K. 516, in G minor.

― pomenitul, Monday, 17 September 2018 11:56 (seven years ago)

also rules
