Anyone like classical music?

TeddyTedson

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!

Are you offering an oral or aural experience? :P

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.

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.

Míshásta

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"

I do! Very fond of the sound of cello lately. But enjoy different classics. Thanks for this thread, I haven't listen to any in a while, will fix that

Oh and on the note, chansons anyone? I
LOVE them

The Diabolical Monocle

1.Ode to joy.
2.Moonlight sonata.

3.that other one .... beautiful Danube an ting


All absolute gems.

Then a bit of 'night of the chainsaw' and psychosocial.

Im hard just thinking of this menu.

Rothko

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.

The Backwards Man

Here I am. It's overplayed, it's modernish, but it's fcuking class!! Wire your interweb up to a big fcuk off telly and turn this up to 90

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.

Oh dear. I recommend lying down in the shade of a tree and listening to this. It can make anything better.

The Diabolical Monocle

Go drill your deserts
Go dig your graves
Go fill your mouth with all the money you have saved

- Rachmaninoff


Bloody showers
Feel the power
We devour you fvcking cowards

- Strauss

"In all fairness" is such a bag of ****e and so is "get over yourself". Very dull predicable and boring.

I'm really enjoying some modern classical artists like Max richter and Olafar Arnalds. Check them out

You should take a gander at Epica if you like metal and classical

Und ich liebe dich so! My last recommendation: Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil - choral music that makes every hair on my body stand to attention.

e.g. the mindblowing chord in the middle of this:

Vespers is incredible. Bogoroditse Devo is one of the best pieces of choral music ever made.
