My favorite Classical Music YouTube Channels
Seigneur Reefshark. I primarily watch their content for the Medtner pieces featured on the channel. There’s already an impressive collection of works available—such as all the piano sonatas and concertos. With several different recordings of the same pieces, it’s also a great way to discover new interpretations and pianists. The visual art accompanying the musical exhibits adds a really nice touch as well.
2. Momrad Carko, also known as Wide Godowsky, is a fellow Scriabin fan, just like me, so his channel offers a great selection of Scriabin pieces. His primary focus, however, is on pianists, and all the videos he uploads showcase top-quality recordings. What sets him apart is that he exclusively uploads score videos, meaning there’s always sheet music accompanying the performance. This makes it much easier to follow what both the pianist and the composer are doing.
3. Dream_boat. This channel focuses on old recordings. Although there is no sheet music accompanying the performances, the recordings uploaded are truly one of a kind. Most of the pieces he shares can’t be found on Spotify or YouTube, so his channel has introduced me to countless rare gems and deepened my appreciation for many pieces I had previously overlooked. The highlight of the channel is definitely the Medtner recordings, with Edna Iles’ interpretations being particularly valuable to me.
