Top 10 metal moments in classical music

Shostakovich must be one of the most aggressive works in classical. He was so angry at the Soviet government and he translated all his anger to his music.

Classical Music is just Heavy Metal before eletricity.

you mean "mental" just hitting notes randomly lol.

The best genre of music: Edgy instrumental music written by eastern europeran men with very high collars.

holds up lighter

Can't believe no 1 isn't Baba Yaga from Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorsky

Vivaldi's is power metal and Shostakovich is prog metal

Bartók's String Quartet No. 4, V. features a segment that is literally just the same as the main riff from Metallica's 'Fuel'. It's probably a coincidence, but also kind of not, because especially Bartók's stuff often just straight up sounds like Thrash.

Please go once in your life to a live performance by a symphony orchestra. 🎼 ❤

I will hunt this music down, and love it.🤟🤟thank you

Title: "Top 10 metal moments in classical music"
First song: Baroque

I feel cheated

Nothing by Prokofiev on your list? One could add the first movements of symphonies 2&3, parts of piano concertos 1&2 and the third movement of piano sonata no. 8. Ravel's piano concerto for the left hand also has a heavy metal part in the middle.

#6😂

All great. But not one classical composer! It's all either baroque, romantic or just modern music (Holst, Shostakovich, Bartók, Stravinsky ...). Why would you call that "classical music"?

to bring another classical song to the table, albeit a choral one, györgy órban's daemon irrepit callidus is extremely metal, and also one of my favorite songs ive sung :3

Classical music evolved into heavy metal, that happened

Shostakovich looks like a serial killer

Theys is beings sos metals evens beesfores metals

#2 feels like the precursor to a pokemon battle. Or a final fantasy boss

WOW what a compilation thank you

Damn number 9 goes so hard

Did anybody hear where John Williams got his inspiration for the Star Wars score? (NOT a slight toward John Williams - the man is a legend in his own time - but it's clear where he got his inspiration from.)

Shostakovich is the best

For fans of Royer's 'Le Vertigo' I warmly recommend another piece by him, 'La Marche des Scythes', performed by Skip Sempé. Also, Michel Corrette's 'Combat Naval' is worth checking out - the only time I've come across harpsichord mimicking the sound of cannon fire (Jukka Tiensuu's recording is pure hardcore).

I don't know a lot of classical music, but I think pictures at an exhibition by Mussorgsky has a lot metal moments that deserve a cover.

Damn!
It really is, isn’t it?

Literally just rock songs

Never listened to classical music regularly except for the few times my father put on the vivaldi or strauss cd at home but holh shit i think i just fell in love with bartok
His music sounds dreadful but in a good way you feel me? Like the music itself is great but the vibes are so terribly apocalyptic i love it

I mean, where did you think Metal bands got their inspiration from?

Damn, Vivaldi knows how to shred

thank.

There's this video (I can't post the link): Béla Bartók - String Quartet No. 4, Movement V - Cristián Tamblay

Ten More:
Shostakovich: Symphony no. 11, second movement (start about 28 minutes into the symphony; watch the conductor in the Søndergård performance)
Anonymous (Chinese classical music): Ambush on All Sides
Messiaen: Turangalila Symphony (pick almost any place in it and listen for a minute or two; pick another place and repeat. Not the sixth movement; it's mellow.)
Mendelssohn: String Quartet in F minor, first movement
Varese: Arcana
Rebel: Les Elemens, introduction (would work as an intro to a metal concert)
Rochberg: String Quartet #3, the March from Part A
And, the darkest piece of classical music ever (probably too scarifying even for "metal") -- Ligeti: Requiem.
Honorable mention: The first couple minutes of Brahms' Piano Concerto #1 doesn't "shred", but certainly it has a lot of "DOOM!". And, I can see the clarinet part (about 25 minutes into Nielsen's Fifth Symphony) as a guitar solo.

Why did you leave the singing out of Erlkonig? Schubert wrote it for VOICE!

Everyone totally understood those notes

bach's Fantasia and fugue in G minor (bwv 542) should be here

No Wagner? Sabbath!? Anyone? The génesis of metal? Piss off

Many of the following bands have similar tones, and structure, whether directly correlated to the bands is unknown
Scriabin - Dying Fetus, Severed Savior, Suffocation, Morgoth [ The Odium album], Grave, First Six Feet Under Album
Vivaldi - La Follia -(FUCKIN) Slayer, World Painted Blood, The entire Reign In Blood album, Obituary, Origin, Deeds of fuggin Flesh, Injury Deepen, Carcass
Bartok - Nile, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus [ early works], Morbid Angel, Deicide, Incantation, and And Justice For All [ the album]. Jungle Rot
Royer - Cerebral Effusion, Fear Factory, Gorguts, early Behemoth, The Mighty Celtic Frost.
Holst - Most Norwegian Black Metal
Stravinsky - Obituary, Grave, Immolation, some Cerebral Effusion, Akinetopsia [ which is a psychological disorder] Ominous Scriptures, Early Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, and other vicious chunk, Suffocation
Vivaldi - Summer III - Origin, Slayer, Archspire, Misery Index, Deeds of Flesh
Bartok - String Quartet - Mortician [ much lower tuning though], Disgorge, Possession, Entombed
Shostakovich - Napalm Death, Fuggin Slayer - The entire Divine Intervention, God Hates Us All era, Fit For an Autopsy, Early Job For a Cowboy, Meshuggah.
I listen to a lot of both.

Long live metal !!!!🍻

THAT is the proper tempo for Shostys 8th quartet, everyone else is playing it too slow

The difference between Vivaldi and Bach is like the difference between Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth. Shawn blows you away with his technique and then Allan makes you go my god, this is the direction where music itself is evolving ...

My suggestions: Roger Sessions, Symphony No. 1, Giusto (especially the pure math rock 5/8 coda). Also The Black Maskers (a fave of Zappa's). Prokofiev, Piano Sonata No. 8, Vivace (third movement), which I'm surprised Keith Emerson didn't steal ;)

Can’t believe I didn’t see piano concerto in b minor. Gonna cry myself to sleep.

Nell'elenco andrebbe inclusa anche la 4° bagatella tratta da le "6 Bagatelle" di Ligeti per quintetto a fiati
