Gaming Music - The 99 Darkest Pieces Of Classical Music

[Filcher]

Nice. Thanks for the call out.

 

[El Mahdi]

Very Cool! Thanks!

 

[Chronosome]

Thanks -- quite the BUMPworthy thread.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Nice! Basically hit all the major ones I could think of!

To add to that, though, I'd suggest checking out the discography of Kronos Quartet. They're a modern chamber music group that does killer renditions of lesser known classical music, modern neoclassical, tangos, avant garde pieces and so forth.

I'd suggest checking out the discography of Kronos Quartet.

Seconded. "[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Black-Angels/dp/B003ALEEEO/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290291159&sr=301-1"]Black Angels[/ame]" is a particularly chilling album. The title piece is avant-garde that anyone can love.

I thought of Schoenberg's "Five Pieces for Orchestra" when I saw the thread title.

For what it's worth, Arvo Part is very accessible and not at all avant-garde, if those words scare you.

Thanks for the heads up, I also bought 99 Essential Dvorak.

Downloading now. Nice haul.

There's a lot of "hey, I've heard this somewhere before" music on this album.

Awesome find.

None of these compare to Johnny Cash. He is quite simply the king of hurt.

Probably the only veteran performer who could take a NIN song and make it more depressing.
