Any classical music buffs on here? – looking for beautiful piano/cello/ quartet music from any era.

I , erm, like Chopin, Debussy, bits of Mahler – looking to put together a great play list to drown out the noise of London roads.

  • Olivier Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeSVu1zbF94

    Might not be the kind of thing you're looking for, it's eerily beautiful rather than just 'pretty', I just love this guy's work.

  • I'm one of those no-goodnik dilettantes who usually only hears about classical music

    when it's carried on some kind of cool record label for the most part so apologies in advance but Erased Tapes are putting out an EP by a composer called Michael Price which is really lovely:

  • Here are some 20th century ones:

    Ravel - String Quartet
    Thomas Ades - Piano Quintet
    Stockhausen - Tierkreis (there's a lovely cello and piano arrangement, amongst many others)
    Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire
    Oliver Knussen - Ophelia Dances (slightly larger ensemble than 4tet but lovely all the same)
    Britten - Phantasy Quartet
    Arvo Part - Fratres
