classical music

[realitybites]

I am awake now, overly used, I think even the Muppets have a version, but... Ode to Joy 4th movement B9, is the greatest piece of music.....Ode to joy

Music the universal language!

Oh, and this one:



Kubrick always chose great music for his films.

really always loved a lot of Mozart and some Beethoven
so far noticing I am how much I enjoy Tchaikovsky
what about you? there must be some people here into classical music
tell us who you like, what you reccommend

I'm a bit of a LVB nut I guess...classical is great for a change. Good post.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

Tragic! You started at the top and so will find nothing to top it. And I am sorry, I seem to have assumed that you were newer to clasical music than you actually appear to be. And here's me giving silly advice about how to go about it, thanks for not taking offence.

I'd say I am "born again" when it comes to classical music, with the exception of a few pieces I have always loved

yes, there are many of us, I am sure, that have only been exposed to as much classical music as we have because we adore many of his films

LVB, LVB oh, got it! Ludwig van Beethoven took me a sec there and thanks, I think this a good thread too

as for me today, I have moved into opera after hearing some of Maria Callas in a documentary about her on Chinese TV
amazing what you will find on TV here
anyways, so far I have been listening to:

I really like it, especially the bits from "Carmen", "Madame Butterfly", "La Traviata", "Norma" & "La Boheme"
so much so I may get some of the entire operas

OMG, don't get me started on Carmen. Perfection! Seeing it performed was truly mindblowing. Ok, my first and last live opera I guess but you haven't lived until you see at least one.

The music is very nice but I do not like the ending of Carmen. Being romantic, I guess I like it when there is a happy ending.

only been to one opera myself, would love to see "Carmen", have a "cue file" recording that plays on VLC from 1964 with Maria Callas, the chance to see her perform "back in the day" is is curenntly on top of my: if I had a time machine list


ps: dude, um, did you really need to post your dislike for almost all musicals to that thread another posted about them?

really liking

since DLing it, think I will put in on when I go to bed
I invented this right?
listening to classical music when one goes to bed

Requiem is a lovely piece but, the top? No others, Beethoven 9?

Beethoven 9 is a wonderful symphony for sure.

My favourite composers are Mahler, Bruckner, Wagner, Rachmaninoff and too many to mention really, there are many unknowns that are wonderful too.

The piece of music I listen to when I need to relax is...




Sublime heaven.

Maria Callas has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
