Franck Pourcel : L'inimitable the DVD playlist

my Best  music

las mejores obras clásicas de todos los tiempos,compuestas por genios de la música que deleitaron a las altas esferas de una sociedad del medioevo,el periodo renacentista,barroco,época de reyes,virreyes,reinas,princesas,de europa, URSS.
Estas piezas y obras musicales quedan como testigos de lo grande que se vivió en esas épocas,y como huella imborrable de las grandezas,extravagancias de esos genios locos .
La música clásica surgió tomando elementos de otras tradiciones musicales occidentales, tanto litúrgicas como seculares, por caso la música de la Antigua Grecia o la Música de la Antigua Roma (sobre todo por sus contribuciones teóricas), o la música de la Iglesia católica (principalmente el canto gregoriano)
Una sinfonía es un tipo de composición musical para la orquesta (aunque actualmente es común encontrar sinfonías para pocos instrumentos), dividida, generalmente, en cuatro movimientos, cada uno con un momento y estructura diferente. Son famosas las sinfonías de Haydn, Mozart y Beethoven en el período clásico.
