Classical/instrumental Music Similar To The Heart Asks Pleasure First?

Sunday, December 13th, 2009 | Book with 2 Comments

I recently heard Michael Nyman’s The Promise/The Heart Asks Pleasure First. I’m interested in finding more music that sounds similar to it if anyone can point me in the right direction. I really like the flowing piano sound it has.

    Chopin’s solo piano pieces of course plus Un Sospiro by Liszt.

    For modern day pianists you might like Yurima.
    For the Romantic era (my favourite):
    Beethoven piano sonatas:
    the most famous is of course Moonlight sonata, but listen to sonata Pathetique – the second movement is truly moving.
    Chopin: nocturnes, mazourkas, impromptus and the Berceus.
    Liszt – Liebestraum, Isolde’s death aria.
    Schubert: impromptus
    Schumann, Robert: three romances.
    Clara Schumann – general piano works.
    Modern/impressionist:
    Debussy: clare de lune.
