Top 10 metal moments in classical music

this shit is fire

jews are gross

How did I not know Vivaldi pioneered pirate music

The Rite of Spring (#4) opened and set off riots -- 2B fair I believe the rioters were pissed at the dancing and not the music.

Rameau les cyclopes 🤟

I can manage 6 voices on the guitar easy enough, but I'm struggling a bit with 8.

Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor is basically electric guitar tapping but on an organ.

Thank you for finding such wonderful performances of some of my favorite music! -toby

Holst be all "blaaam blam blam blam.... blaaaam"

had to check you had vivaldi summer 3 🤘

I‘d like to add the Händel/ Halvorsen Passacaglia performed by Perlman (violin) and Zukerman (viola)
And also a Wieniawski Etude they played together!

I can't think of it as "metal moments in classical", I would say it is usually classical moments utilized in metal.

I never noticed how much Mars sounds like the intro to a sick as hell Metallica song.

Vivaldi was SHREDDING 😂😂😂

Where’s Prokofiev’s Dance of the Knights?

its rude to compare art but bartok's string quartet no 4 reminds me of the advent children version of one winged angel

No. Top 10 CLASSIC MUSIC MOMENTS IN CLASSIC MUSIC MOMENTS

What recordings are these?

Holst's Mars heavily influenced John Williams when he worked out the soundtrack for Star Wars.

Not having Winter from the Four Seasons is a crime…

they walk, so the power metal bands could run

vivaldi the OG inventor of shredding

classical musics are literally metal musics, if electric guitars and drum sets were a thing back then, we probably already have metal musics since hundreds of years ago

the fact that half of these composers literally have a depressing life also adds to the vibes of their songs, one even literally met the devil in his dream, that's really metal

ONG ROYER ACTUALLY MADE ME FALL OFF MY BED

You forgot Prokofiev battle on ice

The Schubert is a furious battle with the Devil

And that's before you even begin to approach the various Dies Irae, the War Requiem, Sir Karl Jenkins Torches movement of The Armed Man...

Jesses, ive never heard Bartok and Holst before. (Ok im not into that.) Thats intense sound i like. fantastic

vivaldi fucked

the shostakovich piece is my favorite EVER

you are not prepared for this, but your grand-grand-grand-grand-son will enjoy it

Metal is baroque with modern instruments and modern drugs

Fun fact when Stravinsky debuted Rite of Spring the audience actually rioted.

All these pieces are melodically, harmonically and rhythmically very elaborated, which is never the case in „metal“. Worlds between!

Love this! There's actually a metal arrangement of the Shostakovich by a group called Shamblemaths. It includes the first movement of the quartet as well. "D.S.C.H." from the album Shamblemaths II.

septic flesh "mad architect" = Shostakovich

Jupiter > Mars

Rite of Spring and Mars, Bringer of War - the most metal pieces of music ever written in my mind

every ginastera string quartet

Vivaldi - summer , Impossible not to remember hxh

Considering that they used portions of Bach’s music in Castlevania’s soundtrack, he’s a very good honorable mention here. Also, why is almost no one mentioning Royer’s?

Badass Vivaldi was definitely a rockstar

when I was a precocious 17 yr old I got fired from a job as a receptionist at a spa because I refused to put on classical music radio they had told me to put on & put on lofi music instead, because I listened to a fair bit of classical music and said (and stand by this) that a lot of classical music isn't actually very relaxing, and not really the vibes of a chilled out spa. Not the best way to keep a job, but I know I was right. Anyway these fuck hard.

Vivaldi refused first so he could be on the list twice.

Why was number 2 just something straight out of Botw?
