Classical music

[The Monkey]

So is anybody of you people into classical music?

 

[redruM]

Well I enjoy classical music but I don't really listen to it that often. Except Debussy whom I listen to once in a while.

 

[Druckles]

Not particularly. My mum does (of course). I did know this guy at my old school who did. Knew like everything about it... freaky.

I do play classical music, on the other hand (depending on your definition of "classical"). But I guess most people do.

 

[Kaptain H]

I love classical music. I grew up playing classical piano and violin. I especially love baroque-style concertos, Beethoven piano sonatas and organ music like Telemann and Bach fugues. Except Debussy. He's an asshole and he ruined my life.

 

[Druckles]

Tarrega's probably my favourite guitar composer.

Unfortunately, I am the type of person who says, "Beetho..who?" or "Moz..wut?"

Classical Music is primarily meant for relaxation and usage for epic or important moments in movies and games as far as I see. So yes, Classical Music serves as a very important genre of music in today's world.

Too ****ing right.

 

[evil^milk]

Bach, Beethoven, Chopin (****ing genius), Liszt, Albeniz, Khachaturian...

Mozart is extremely overrated, though.

 

[Que-Ever]

Mozart is pretty cool. I also like christmas music.

 

[Vegeta897]

If any of the orchestral tracks Venetian Snares has can be considered the classical style, then those would be fine examples.

But yes, generally I do enjoy classical music.

 

[Qhartb]

yes, i enjoy classical music and that's all i have to say because i'm tired.

 

[Unfocused]

Sometimes, when I'm driving my car and listening to the radio I just switch to a classical music station, cause that's the best the radio has to offer at the time with shitty pop music on other stations or some babbling I don't care about.

I don't like vocals in classical music though.

 

[Jintor]

But... but... but... Ominous Latin Chanting!

 

[Naph]

Jeremy Soule.

He literally excretes solid epic.

 

[venturon]

Classic FM is the only radio station I listen to. I usually enjoy what they play, with the exception of Opera, which is gaudy, impenetrable and generally uninteresting.

I also greatly enjoy Classical Guitar.

 

[Unfocused]

But... but... but... Ominous Latin Chanting!

Hm, Ominous Latin Chanting is pretty fine . I don't like that Opera-style singing (excuse my ignorance if there's a name for that).

 

[Jintor]

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean there.

I really like Requiems... there was this specific one, but I forgot who composed it, and I've been looking for it ever since. : (

It's fantastic, isn't it? Good, I accept all compliments.

Rodrigo y Gabriela could almost come under the category of Classical Guitar. But that's only because know one knows what genre to put them in. Can't plug the epic.

I have been listening a lot to classical music lately. Schubert quartets, some of Beethoven's work in C Minor (his 'brilliant' key), Bach's Brandenburger concertos and the adagios from my favourite composer Mahler (the Ruhevoll, poco adagio from 4th symphony being my all time fav). I basically like everything from the early baroque until the late romantics, although like Unfocused I don't really care for vocals. With some exceptions of course. Mozart's requiem mass is pure brilliance.

 

[dfc05]

I'm not a big fan of classical, but I like some Debussy, most Chopin piano pieces, and some Beethoven. Whenever I play piano, I usually go for Debussy or Chopin. I dislike most of Mozart's pieces, with the possible exception of the Requiem (I'm not sure if I've heard the whole thing, but I recall liking at least part of it).

I also like some of the more modern stuff like Arvo Part. The Te Deum choral piece is one of my favorites. The Magnificat and Credo are very good. I also like his non-choral work (e.g. Fratres).

I listen to Philip Glass sometimes.

I don't know a lot about opera, but I enjoy parts of Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana.

 

[The Monkey]

Vivaldi and Haydn are probably my favourite pre-Romantic composers. Wagner and Brahms are my favourites in the Romantic period.

Brahms is such a handsome fellow too.

Someone help me here. Currently listening to the allegretto from Beethoven's 7th. The main theme is very reminiscent of a current pop / rock song, but I can't remember which one.

Any ideas?
