Posted May 23, 201410 yr Anyone else here who likes listening Classical music? I began paying real attention to this music little more than a year and a half ago, though I enjoyed it before. So far my favorites have been from the Romantic period, such as Beethoven (though is Late Classic/Early Romantic too), Wagner and Mahler. So who are your favorite composers? Favorite pieces of music? Some music of course, and one of my favorites: Ludwig van Beethoven; 9th Symphony, 1st mov. It doesn't have any information about the orchestra or who's conducting...
May 25, 201410 yr Author Another one of my favorites: Mars, The Bringer of War, from The Planets by Gustav Holst. Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Levine
May 26, 201410 yr I grew up on classical, thanks to my Mom. It's all I listen to when driving and sometimes at a low volume while I sleep. One of my favorites.
June 25, 201410 yr ^ Nice. I always overlook Gershwin. The sounds of the old style brass and woodwind instruments in this are always interesting to me.
June 26, 201410 yr Author ^ The natural horns and trumpets immediately got my attention. Interesting thing! Quite in the baroque style. The only issue with it is that they get out of tune quite a lot Understandable since those are natural wind instruments very different to their today's counterparts, but there were always these strange moments (those out of tune notes) bothering my ear .

I think the insignificant (to me) dissonance is what make it fun to listen to.
June 26, 201410 yr Author They give it a particular sound indeed. But to me at least those aren't insignificant and they kind of bother me Well, some more music. We're lacking Mozart here
November 13, 201410 yr This is a Hungarian talent show for classical music players or idk how to describe it, but this is one of my fav from the current playlist.
November 22, 201410 yr Author ^ It's never too late! (I wish I could have played anything at such a short age though) And great adds. So much talent (and hours of study!) there. -------------- Gustav Mahler - 5th Symphony 1st Mov. Leonard Bernstein and Vienna Philarmonic.
November 22, 201410 yr I'm an anti-talent. I tried at younger age. Or I was just a quitter...But I think it would be much harder to learn now.
November 29, 201410 yr ^ It's not fair, i really can't concentrate myself on her music This kind of TV programs miss in France we don't have one, only for pop music ... so thanks Lyla
November 29, 201410 yr Author Beautiful and talented AMAZING!!! Those Liszt pieces are awesome. Thanks Lyla
