OddJob Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I started a thread on classical music last year and it was sadly one of the many topics lost in the fiasco at the end of the year. So i thought i'd start a new one as there was a decent enough contribution made to it. So i'll just post up again 2 of my favourites: Pachelbel's Canon in D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdRNTXaweoo&feature=related Bach's Air On G http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7RYSQvrUrc&feature=related What are your favourite pieces?

dervish Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Nigel Kennedys version of Vivaldis Winter. Marche Slav - Tchaikovsky The Rach 3. I'm mostly a film music guy. The Eagle and Gladiator are top notch. Might want to keep an eye out for him if your out in Krakow, plays in little wee places every so often, apparently some old wifie keeps telling him to keep it down when he's practicing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAk1UOh83fI Shout on Jupiter too. Like loads of the normal stuff, in the hall of the mountain king is a fav, but for a bit different(recent suppose...???): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwcIRnnUCGE Link to comment

Ke1t Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Got a few favourites, but right now I'd have to go with more contemporary classical, particularly the final composition on Philip Glass' Glassworks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnihJdn786w&feature=related Followed very, very closely by Moonlight Sonata. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck Link to comment

OddJob Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Philistine!I could be wrong but i was sure the last thread like this i posted, Mini had listed a few classical pieces, but don't hold me to that Link to comment
tutankamun Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think his post is a quote from a film so I guess he may actually have a different opinion. Edit: it's the weegie boy from The Thick of It. Link to comment

phoenix Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Keep reminding myself how underexposed to classical I am after all these years - it was the popular music of it's day , altho' it filtered down from the patronage of the rich. The less well-off had fiddle music and dirled it up 'roon the fireside. Beethoven has to be my main man and nae bad for a Sagittarian ; Mozart with then blow me away and cause me to question the validity of that suggestion - pretty good for an Aquarian ; Piscean Chopin is typical of the sign given his romanticism and ability to draw beauty out of sadness and Bruch's fiddle music , his violin concerto No 1 is about as beautiful as fiddle music gets - recommended( try to listen to the Jaffa Heifetz recording out of hunners , he was Russian and my Mum and Dad saw him at the Music Hall - must have been just before the second World war ; he is still regarded by many as the greatest of all violin players ). Mebbe Classical with get more of an airing in my retirement , it reaches parts that other beers can't reach. Link to comment
Crossbow Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Go along with Beethoven, especially later symphonies, Wagner overtures good as is 1812 by Tchaikovsky and some of his symphonies. Mozart's music is pretty but not quite as powerful - oh and Richard Strauss is good too. Link to comment

Roo Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Jupiter is awesome, love the Planet Suite I would say I listen more to opera than general classical (although I've been loving Mahler recently). Favourite composition, at a push would be Isolde's Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde by Wagner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mOA8pZ_I4M A very close second would be the mad scene from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HiEjMufvj4 As with any opera (and classical singing in general) though, the impact of the piece is hugely dependent on who is singing it Link to comment

No ticket was drinking (somehow is ok if it red unfortified wine) in the park on a freebie, was quite popular. This was on at one point whole place went mental folk dancing about. In my head it goes "Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, Repetition" :D Link to comment
