Any classical music fans?

I've been listening to a ton of Wägner who is easily my favourite. Shostakovich is up there as well.
Any recs for me? I love Waltz and would love to check out some of the greatest waltzes - have a long plane ride tonight and would be sweet to download a playlist beforehand.

I enjoy Mozart's clarinet concertos and Vivaldi in general.

I was really into classical music years ago and I'm starting to get interested in it again. For waltzes, check out Johann Strauss.

Vaclav Nehlybel is my jam.

If you like Wagner, try Mahler. I love his 1st & 3rd.

David Chesky...modern classical.
Check out Chesky Records.

It may be easy and kind of cliche, but I really don't think it gets better than Beethoven's symphonies. The rule of thumb is that the odd number ones tend to be more highly regarded.

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV 140 or Sleepers Wake by Bach (Yo Yo Ma has a 2005 version on "Essential Yo Yo Ma (which has several great classical songs)" that was as good as any)
Brahms Violin Concerto in D Major Op 77, 3rd Movement may be my favorite bit of classical music ever
Handel's Water Music is a good piece
Of course, Vivaldi's Seasons are all good (Spring is the most popular, I believe, but I'm a big fan of Winter)
Bach's Cello Ste No 1 was recently in a car commercial. It's one of those "oh, this is everywhere, but I'm glad I listened to the piece" pieces. Similar to Vivaldi's 4 Seasons on that respect...you'll have heard them all but can't quite realize why.
ETA: i totally ignored your "give me the waltzes" because I'm essentially classically illiterate, so I'm giving some very obvious choices. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, Chris Thile has a few recordings of him covering Bach violin concertos on mandolin. It is super fun to listen to, but it's not exactly "classical." He particularly enjoys "walking all over the line" as it regards to genre hopping
Maybe this will help on your flight back.

Rossini's overtures.

I'm very partial to Camille Saint Saens.
His best and most famous work is "Danse Macabre"
I'm also nuts for soprano Emma Kirkby.
She does mostly "early music"--pre-piano/keyed instrumentation.
Her voice is angelic.
My favorite work of hers is Mozart's "Exsultate Jubilate"

I love his Clarinet Sonata in E-Flat Major.

One of the comments on the link I shared was that if he were alive today, Camille Saint Saens would be a renowned composer for movies.
I tend to agree. Would love to hear his ideas for a movie like "Rosemary's Baby" or, hell, "Star Trek: The Search for A New Plot"

Symphony No. 3 AKA "Organ Symphony" rocks.
As OP likes Wagner, in addition to Mahler, see also Richard Strauss. His various tone poems are great.

Mussorgsky. Prokofiev. Tchiakovsky. Handel.
J.S. Bach, however, remains, in my opinion, the ultimate musical genius the world has ever produced. Mozart may have been more of a prodigy, but Bach is just... otherworldly. "Air on the G String" is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

Shostakovich is a freak with his arrangements and his complicated piano parts.
I've always been a fan of Ravel .....especially Bolero very sensual.
Chopin's piano concertos are amazing.

Bach's Cello Suites got me through law school and are still my #1 go to when I need to really focus and master something

Beethoven's symphonies along with Mozart's piano concertos are the finest musical creations ever, IMHO.
As for Beethoven, all the symphonies are sublime, but my personal tastes actually prefer the ones that are more "classical" in style: 1,2,4 and 8.

Listening to the Light Classical channel on Music Choice as we speak. We listen to it every night during supper and sometimes later into the evening. I've become a fan of Vivaldi and Dvorak, especially. Amazing to realize that many of these guys were performing and composing long before their teens. Guys like Mozart and Beethoven were savants when it came to music.
