Classical Music and Opera fans and fanatics...

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!

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!!

Come back to life thread!

Currently listening to: Eric Whitacre's "Cloudburst" (moden composer, this is a choral piece)

Earlier I was listening to Arvo Part and J.S. Bach's cello suites, both are classical favorites of mine.

Also getting more into opera, hopefully going to see "Turandot" this winter.

I play a classical/NPR station next to the rat's cage to keep her company with good music and conversation. They were just playing Bach's double violin concerto - lovely.

There's an NPR classical station from a city an hour from me that comes in once in a while. I've never been too crazy about it. They only seem to play symphonies and never any interesting ones. I think of it as dentist office music.

Lately I've been trying to explore the field of classical music in both directions. Looking for any contemporary composers who have recordings and going back to real pre-Baroque, medieval stuff. I'm pretty happy with discoveries in both.

Hi there, all you classical music people!
Don't know what I'd do without our classical station! Grieg & Dvorak are, for melody, my favorites. Our station (WMHT in upstate NY) plays quite a range of 'classical'...from early music to more 'modern'...
People know little about Wm. Grant Still, for example...because the Gershwins and the Ravels have gotten more commercialized. "Bolero" is ruined for me, btw. ;~)
Anyway....I'm into it! Good for you, Isaiah, for exploring it. I recommend Hildegard von Bingen...wonderful spiritual music.
Many good stations online, too!

I'm stuck in baroque. Bach and Vivaldi are my favorites. I often listen to a collection of Bach's adagios while I'm drifting off to sleep. Either that or Nile, depending on my mood...
