Come out, come out where ever you are! I know I'm not the only one around here! I've currently got Boccherini's 5th Symphony in B flat blasting away in my ears...and it's pure bliss!

What are you listening to?

OR

What do you wish you were listening to?

Antonín Leopold Dvořak love his New World Symphony otherwise known as Symphony #9
in E minor... ahhhh

Also, Franz Liszt's Hungarian rhapsodies---Love 'em.

Wolfgang A Mozart Eine kleine Nachtmusik and anything by the master...

and last but not least, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade.

I absolutely love "Carmen" "Aida" "Madama Butterfly" "La Boheme"

I love the stuff but am no authority on it... I just love listening to it!

Ah, the sheer pleasure of it. Bach, Vivaldi for the "oldies".... A favorite is also Grieg (and Dvorak, too!) I listen in the car...to avoid the yukky news!

Beethoven's 9th symphony...always a favorite. I also love anything by Handel. Brandenburg concertos move me. Music is my passion.

I love classical music and was raised on it by a violin-playing dad. I never get tired of hearing it and especially like to put on the Ninth Symphony and headphones and turn it up. My ringtone for my cell is Mozart's Symphony #40. I used to work in a factory and got many stares and funny looks as visitors and management walked past my work station to hear Handel's Messiah or some such music when everyone around me was playing rock or country. I truly enjoyed blowing away a few stereotypes (pun intended) about factory workers. I used to sing the Ode to Joy in german at top volume while walking thru the plant. I actually met someone while doing that who spoke german! I had to tell him that the only german I spoke was the Ode to Joy!

Classical music rocks!!
