Baroque Music

[goofyfish]

A spin-off of the Classical Music thread:
What are your must have/must hear masterpieces of this era ?

For The Fish, it's the big three:

Bach

• Brandenburg Concertos
• Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor, BWV 1043
• Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565

Handel

• Water Music & Music For the Royal Fireworks
• Messiah
• Concerto Grossi

Vivaldi

• Four Seasons
• Gloria in D Major
• Lute/Mandolin/Guitar Concerti

I would also toss in Albinoni's Adagio - possibly the most depressing piece of music ever, but brilliant.

Peace.
