Classical Music

[Colin O'Brien]

We got any classical music fans up in here? I don't just mean classical in the "classical" sense but also baroque, romantic, 20th century, opera, etc.. basically western art music. I'm the only person I've ever met who's ipod is > %50 classical.

Wow! Pretty sweet if you ask me. I am open to all that great stuff. I live in a place now where you can hear live performances for almost nothing (as compared to the West). Would you consider the composers from the old Soviet Union to be Western art music?

BTW, I would recommend everyone to give Opera a chance.

 

[SinJester]

Does Metallicas S&M concert count?

 

[KarmaSutra]

Wagner's Parcival is my all time favorite Opera.

Hard as fvck for me to find the entire score but well worth the search.

 

[Paper Man]

Absolutely.

I'm not as much of a connasseur as I'd like to be, but classical music is really something.

 

[Falcon]

I'm one. Big on Mozart and Chopin. And yes, if I owned an ipod, it would consist of probably around 65% classical music

I'm a big fan of Philip Glass, I guess that would be modern classical.

 

[KontrollerX]

I like Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor.

 

[Obsidian]

Bach seems pretty smart to me. Listen to Toccata and Fugue in d minor (565)

 

[Eccentric]

Adagio For Strings is my favorite classical song.

 

[ItsOnNow]

I am only somewhat familiar with classical music,a fan,but not aficionado. If anything, My favorite piece of classical music is the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Oddysey. Which is also one of my favorite films. I highly recomend both.

 

[Bonhomme]

Yah, I'm into a lot of classical stuff, too. I love the old Ludwig Van (esp. his intense 7th Symphony), Orff's Carmina Burana, Stravinsy's Rite of Spring, in particular.

 

[Master Bates]

I like composers from the Romantic era the most, particularly piano music. Chopin, Debussy, etc. Very beautiful music.

Oh hell yeah, Soviet music is awesome. Shostakovitch is probably my favorite composer, I love his 5th symphony so much, plus his first cello concerto is awesome too. Where I am now, performances are an expensive rarity, and I'm moving to New York City next year so they'll turn into just "expensive". I recommend everyone give classical music and opera a chance.
