No, that was the error option. I meant Bach’s violin concerto in E major. :smack:
Hah hah, that makes a LOT more sense! ![]()
A corker of a suggestion. You can go here for a quite exceptional performance, by a truly unique youth orchestra. Which reminds me, if it’s dance that you want (or even if it isn’t!), the encore from the same concert just has to be seen.
It might be DQ’d by the OP’s criteria, because it’s been featured in so many soundtracks and haunted houses, but Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor floors me every time (I don’t know enough about classical to tell if it’s been mentioned here under another name.). True, it doesn’t make me want to dance, but neither does the best grunge rock or Led Zepplin. It just gets my blood pumping, that’s all.
So yeah, Toccata and Fugue.
Solti got it right.
I’d have to add almost any waltz, especially the ones in Tchaikovsky’s ballets. And the ballet music from Gounod’s Faust.
No mention of Dvorak’s New World Symphony? Also, a person favorite of mine is Aaron Copeland’s “Appalachian Spring”, as well as his “Rodeo.”
And, good grief, how about Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”?http://youtube.com/watch?v=yiyc9Ak3EtQ & http://youtube.com/watch?v=NOcuvv01nO4
