Here are the composers included in The Classical Composers series
Sample some of the magnificent sounds you'll hear, from the greatest composers the world has ever known.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
1756-1791From comic operas and dazzling concertos to a little light, night music and the solemnity of a requiem, Mozart’s prodigious legacy has given us some of the finest works in the classical repertoire.
Ludwig van Beethoven
1770-1827Beethoven lived through a revolutionary period. His musical accompaniment to these stirring times is unique in its heroic sweep and passion, expressing the spirit of the age.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
1840-1893Tchaikovsky dominates 19th century Russian music as its greatest talent. While his formal conservatory training instilled in him Western-oriented techniques, his essential nature is Russian.
Frédéric Chopin
1810-1849Chopin was considered the greatest composer for the piano. Born in Warsaw, Poland, he took Paris by storm with his music which included Polish folk dances, as well as concertos and etudes alive with vitality.
Antonio Vivaldi
1678-1741Vilvaldi was one of the most innovative musical figures of the Baroque period. He travelled relentlessly in pursuit of fame and fortune, and was a prolific composer. Vivaldi was an ordained priest, but spent more time composing.
Johann Sebastian Bach
1685-1750Bach had a large family and needed to work hard to support it. He became a prolific composer with a huge body of work but was never recognized for his brilliance in his lifetime.
George Gershwin
1898-1937From Broadway to Hollywood to the concert hall and opera house, George Gershwin was the epitome of American music for millions around the world. He epitomized the American dream, rising from humble beginnings.
Johannes Brahms
1833-1897Once settled into his bachelor routine in Vienna, Brahms began laying down the great body of work that established him as a towering figure in the musical history of that city.
George Frideric Handel
1685-1759Handel created a string of masterpieces and, as English court composer, he entertained the monarchy and the masses with great festive and ceremonial music still played on state occasions.
