Opera Classical
Can you recommend some intense opera/classical music?

I am looking for very intense opera or classical music that just makes your heart pump and hearing all the loud thumps and noises. Okay well the only music i can think of so i can show you what i like so you can recommend some is wagner.

I liked 3 of his songs. O fortuna. flight of the valyrines. in the hall of the mountain king. Those are very intense. Also some songs from jesper kyd. I am looking for some intense opera/classical like that please help

i am going to be in an airplane for 6 hours i need some stuff like this.

Oh please some songs that sound like o fortuna with people siniging like that. So dramatic.

You only listed one piece by Wagner – Ride of the Valkyries. The O Fortuna is from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and the Mountain King is from the Peer Gynt Suite by Greig.

Try the “5th Symphony” of Shostakovich. Wagner’s “Flying Dutchman Overture”. “Symphonies 1 & 2″ of Samuel Barber. “Ein Heldenleben” and “Tod und Verklarung” by Richard Strauss.”Night on Bald Mountain” by Mussorgsky and “Symphony #3″ by Khachaturian.

And for something dramatic with voices find the soundtrack to 2001-A Space Odyssey. The three pieces by the late Gyorgy Ligeti , “Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, 2 Mixed Choirs and Orchestra” ; “Lux Aeterna” and “Atmospheres” should fill the bill.

Musician,teacher.
