Heya Hl2.net, just wondering if anyone here listens to and/or appreciates the classics and/or classical music as a genre? Ie: Renaissance, Barouque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century?

Artists such as Strauss, Satie, Barber, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Sibelius, Handel, Holst, Musskorgsky, Elgar, Mascagni, Beethoven, Dcorak,
Khachaturian, Williams, Vivaldi, Rodrigo, Leoncavollo, Chopin, Smetana, Chabrier, Haydn, Bizet, Greig, Mozart, Bach, Ravel, Orff, Rachmaninov,
Verdi, Dukas, Ponchielli, Rimsky Korsakov, Luigini, Prokofiev, Boccherini, Offenbach, Holst, Copland, Rossini, Albinoni, Delibes, Debussy ringing any bells?

*phew!*

Or are we a community of uncultured boons here? :laugh: Joke. If so, tell us a bit about what ya like!




Hl2.net, we have you post!
 
My dad only listens to classical music, so my whole childhood has pretty much been filled by it. Needless to say, I grew pretty resentful towards it. I've been starting to warm up on it a bit recently, though, so I might start to explore it.
 
well i do kinda listen to classical music sometimes,

whenever i feel like it :P
 
I love classical, and Vivaldi's Four Seasons is one of my favorites. I do need to branch out into more of it, though.
 
I've got about a dozen Classical albums, but haven't really listened to it much. Some of it is beautiful and brilliant, and some of it annoys me due to how incredibly dynamic the volume is. It's too quiet and then too loud, it transitions so quickly and so often. I find it disturbing.

I do own software that I could use to compress it. I know purists would cringe at the thought. But frankly, it's unlistenable on my sound system. The loud parts scare me.

I actually have Vivaldi - The Four Seasons & other Concertos and I'm giving it a listen

See this one isn't bad. It must have just been the last album I listened to (whatever it was) that really put me off.
 
I like some of the more dramatic classical.

Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights

Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries (Good ol' Apocalpyse Now)

Beethoven Symphony Number 5



I also really like...

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Beethoven - Fur Elise


Others too :0
 
Trans-Siberian Orchestra

/thread

Seriously, not much into classical other then the 'popular' ones like Fur Elise, Beethovens 5th, Four Seasons, etc.
 
I wonder if some of Venetian Snare's tracks from Rossz csillag alatt szuletett or My Downfall count?

I do enjoy classical music, mostly.
 
I'm currently taking a course on this type of music. Will report back.
 
Mozart is pretty cool. I mean, he's got some stuff you can headbang to.
 
What do you call a pianist in the forest?

Chopin.

Hardy har har, I'm woody.
 
I appreciate classical, but I've never really had a thing for symphony music, being that it mostly just sound similar. But it seems when they make these new orchestrations for movies I like it a lot more, especially from Lord of The Rings. I also enjoy the Zelda soundtracks, the have a classical feel to them as well, but I would rather listen to a solo pianist than an entire orchestra. At some point, I think, some of the instruments get lost and drowned out by the others, and I'm not particularly fond of that.

:/
 
I had Beethoven's Nine Symphonies and Vivaldi's Four Seasons until recently.
I got rid of them after I realised I liked looking at the album art in my library more often than actually listening to them.

I just don't have the patience for classical musicand I can't tolerate ear piercing changes in volume. Jimi Hendrix is about as classic as I can tolerate.
 
EDIT: Goddamn wireless connection keeps timing out... :flame:
