    I've just been sitting in my chair since the United game finished listening to a whole array of classical music. It mellows me and relieves stress. Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Wolfgang being some of the better know classical musicians.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm a heavy metal enthusiast and visit club hell regularly, but from time to time I can sit for hours listening to a bit of classical music on my recliner, phone off, windows opens letting in a gentle breeze and the lights off.
    If you have never done this try it some time!
    Classical music is very under appreciated though in modern times.
    Do many other boardsies appreciate a bit of Strauss now and again?



    Classical makes everything so much better!

    Yeah, it's great on mobile phones too. I have Swan Lake on my Nokia 6310i and the MIDI file as background music on my webpage. :cool:

    My verdict for the greatest composer ever.

    Verdi.

    I do have Lyric fm on 24 hours a day in the farm, it keeps the cows nice and calm especially around the calving season.

    My favorite. Whenever I listen to this I always go from nodding my head gently at the beginning to swinging my hands around being an air-conductor at the end. :o

    Wow a farm!!! That sounds like heaven on a nice sunny day lifting a few hay bales. I lived on a farm way back when for a couple of Summers, but never had any music. Just loved the outback.

    Metal heads I've met like classical. A lot of it is on the same epic scale as Emperor, Troll, so on. Debussy is my vicoden.

    One of the most beautiful sublime pieces of music ever composed

    The 2nd movement "By the Brook" of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.

    Take a listen even if you think you don't like classical - especially about half way through.

    Edit: Beautiful - but I actually meant to post the 5th movement- "After the Storm"

    Yeah, I like classical music. My favourites would be Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Bach and Mozart. I've been listening to Philip Glass a bit lately too.

    Interesting. Debussy (and most piano music) reminds me of rain.

    Most programmers I know like Bach. It's the sequential aspect of the music, the predictability and the resolution, I think.

    Ludivicio Einaudi is very popular these days.

    While I would consider myself a fan of Rock and other genres (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Thin lizzy being my favourite bands)...my favourite piece of music ever is a classical piece by Einaudi

    Bag of pretentious ****e, followed/endorsed/promoted by a sizeable percentage of fans who rave about it just because they think they should and relish in their indulgence of labelling and verbally assaulting "Philistines" who declare their non appreciation of "classical" music.

    The name itself "classical" makes me want to wretch for many reasons.
