    • Who are your favorite composers and what are your favorite works by those composers. I don't know a lot about classical music but I want to learn more because it is one of the few genres of music that are safe to listen to since most popular music is filthy.

    I started looking for good classical music on youtube and I want to find more good music but I don't know what to search for because I don't know much about classical music. If you can recommend some good classical music it would be very helpful. Thank you.

     :jumping2:

    If you could recommend other types of music that are not sinful to listen too as well, that would be good as well.

    • So far most of your advice was good and I could find nearly all of your recommended music on youtube. Hopefully more people will give their advice also. Thank you.

    • 1. Ludwig van Beethoven - all works

    2. Anton Bruckner -all works

    Also enjoy everything up until the end of the Romantic period.

    Gregorian chant, Cistercian chant, Byzantine chant, being liturgical are in their own superlative class.

    • There are recordings of the vocalizations with Placido Domingo and Rene Fleming ( who grew up right down the road from where I used to live ) of this magnificent Largo, also on YouTube.

    Charpentier, Lully, Rameau, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Haydn... the list is long and may you have a long life to study them all!

    I can only recommend with unreserved enthusiasm the string quartets of Mozart and Haydn, in which the form was perfected and never surpassed.
