Beethoven Page at the Classical Music Site - "Superlatives are dangerous and should be employed with the utmost care..."
One might not think to look for an excellent classical music resource under the title of Miguel and Lynne's Homepage, but believe me, it's a great resource! Right away, I'll point you to the music section of their site. They begin this section with a very fetching comment:
- Classical Music: Something For Everyone
They continue their introduction with, "If anyone ever says that they don't like any kind of classical music, I would suggest that they just haven't heard enough."
I would tend to agree with them on this statement. After all, what we find enjoyable in today's pop music all began with some form of classical influence.
Let's investigate this site a little more and uncover some of the choices they have compiled for us.
- If you are a beginner, they recommend the site called, Classical Net. Two other sites they recommend are Orchestra Net and Lied and Song Texts Page, which is full of composer and poet links and even includes a dictionary for clarifying translations.
The composers spotlighted at this site are:
They have a nice list of other classical links, plus a link list of stores, catalogues, and labels, and an opera links list which includes the likes of Cecilia Bartoli, Vienna State Opera and Placido Domingo.
This is a nice place to begin your research on various styles of music and to gather information on various Romantic composers.
