I did a search and didn't find a thread dedicated to classical music, but if this is a repeat I'm sorry.

I just thought it would be good to have a thread about classical music.

So everyone, what are you favourites?

Right now I'm really liking Elgar's cello concerto, some Tchaikovsky, and Dvorak.

I wont listen to it myself but if someone in the house plays it I would listen to it. But I really suck at names of those compositions..

Classical music can be very relaxing or interesting from time to time. Once in a while I even go to a classical concert cause my brother plays the saxophone in an orchestra :)

I must say I like the 'Italian opera':

Con te partirò - Andrea Bocelli is in my playlist :)

everybody in Germany knows that song, but titled as "Time To Say Goodbye"... :)

it was used as the entrance music of Henry Maske's ( famous boxer) last fight

I like Albinoni. I have a cd compiling "Adagio in G Minor" as well as some stuff he wrote for the oboe (has some pipe organ thrown in there for good measure). I was also gonna say Erik Satie. Nuttin' beats his minimal compositions. It sits in stark contrast to Baroque (Bach, Vivaldi). I dislike Baroque. I like melodramatic, but I also don't like something that overflows with orchestration.

"Adagio In G Minor" :beatnik:

Edit: This version is played quicker, so it loses its effect, but by the same token it's shorter and more tolerable for those with lesser attention spans.

In the early seventies, every young music lover had, among their CS&Y, Stones, Led Zepp, Floyd or Airplane Lps, two classic albums: "Adagio" (Albinoni) and "The Four Seasons" (Vivaldi) :grin:

My parents listened to classic music but I never get to like it very much.

Still I love Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Dvorak.

The ending of the greatest thing ever written, Mahler's 8th Symphony. It starts very quietly and slowly, but please stick with it. It's worth it. :) Farin, at least, might understand the words...

Oh, and Simon Rattle may very well creep you out.
