Classical Music to overcome anxiety?


DarkGreyHeroine's avatar
Hey folks :dummy:

:iconvioletheartplz:Could you share some beautiful classical music with me? I really want to listen to more classical music since I kinda get 1 anxiety attack per day and turn into a stressed chicken..

I love Faure and piano & cello and classical music in general, just don't give me Bach, he has just too many works :lol:

This, as a break from my Breaking Benjamin therapy... Rock is good

I find Chopin quite relaxing, also he's my fave, I might be biased a little bit. But some of his pieces are depressing because of his sickness and struggles. I like his preludes a lot and I think they have certain beauty in their shortness that makes you very happy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzduM1…

Also Ravel's Bolero makes me calm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK23Bh…

And this amazingness by Mr Gershwin always, ALWAYS, makes me happy and gives me energy to get through anything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLTMan…

I don't know much about classical music, so the closest thing I know to it is instrumental, such as an Asian violinist named Jia Peng Fang.

I like Ravel. Perhaps you could look at Max Richter for piano/cello as he has some good minimalist works.

He has indeed :) the compositions are interesting to follow~
thanks for sharing! :hug:

Ludovico Einaudi is a great contemporary pianist as for real classics, Claude Debussy and Erik Satie are really relaxing to me:)

I know the feeling. I have OCD and a bit of anxiety myself though I don't get panic attacks very often. They can really stink :/ I wish you the best :huggle:

Oh yeah, a couple other artists I like to listen to when I'm feeling on edge is Kokia and Malukah. They both have really beautiful and soothing voices :) Maybe you'll like them.
