Level 100 Garry Schyman and Classical Music

unnamed Level 100: Garry Schyman and Classical MusicWe’ve had some great times with some wonderful composers through the years. One of my favorites was meeting Garry Schyman in person for the first time and talking about classical music for two hours.

So that’s pretty much what we did for our 100th episode; we called up Garry Schyman (BioShock, Dante’s Inferno, Torn) and asked him to share some of his favorite classical works and composers with us.

The playlist is a bit nuts for this one. It’s overly complicated because of the simplicity of the piece titles, like “Symphony No. 82 in G Major” or “Sonata, Op. 22 No. 5” and whatnot.

But if you really enjoy the performance of a piece, then it follows that you’d want to know who performed it, so then you get into lengthy ensemble or performer names and conductors, ad nauseam.

I totally get it though. When it comes to the nine Beethoven symphonies, it’s my belief that the John Eliot Gardiner recordings with the Revolutionary and Romantic Orchestra (or the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique) are the absolute best. I like that Gardiner was one of the early adopters of playing music on instruments from the time the music was written, and this orchestra does that, and I feel they sound tremendous.

Digression aside, as always, if you have questions or comments, join us on the Discord server.
