Title: Classical Music
Post by: Evil Kraken from the Arctic Sea on August 28, 2007, 11:37:26 PM: I wondered if anyone here listened to classical music... I really enjoy Mendelssohn, Tschaikowsky etc. Also some opera, but not many. The song that always gets me is The Flower Duett from the opera Lakmé by Léo Delibes...I always thought a videopart to classical music would be cool...
Anyone else enjoy some classical music?

Post by: HenryChinaski on August 29, 2007, 01:28:56 AM: Sibelius is probably my favorite. I also enjoy Mahler, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, and Rossini.

Post by: Smell Good on May 21, 2010, 08:05:00 PM: Yes. I am necroing the shit out of this thread.

Been listening to nothing but Ravel's orchestral works. Okay, that's a lie because I'm listening to Horowitz play Rachmaninoff's 3rd right now. While I don't play piano, I have it on my bucket list to punch some keys on a Steinway concert grand before I die.

Post by: In Lieu on May 22, 2010, 06:36:50 PM: so much, chopins nocturnes, anything debussy and loads of other piano based stuff, holst and stravinsky are favourites as well. nils frahm is a rad modern pianist/composer, seeing him tuesday night. what do you guys think of this incidentally? thought i'd have a go at writing my own take on that sort of thing a while back, quite proud of it i guess...

Willem Dafoe used it in his part for the Platoon video. it was epic.
but seriously, that song is beautiful.

phil loved classical, and while he skated to it posthumously i don't think this would have been his first song choice...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HgUHQGWMA0

bach, beethoven, mozart for sure, plus dig ravel, stravinsky, bartok, rachmaninoff, some of the weirdos.

Post by: heckler on May 24, 2010, 05:19:46 PM: I actually played double bass in the orchestra throughout high school so I got to experience a lot of classical music first hand. One of my favorite pieces was from Bartok, but I can't remember the name of the concerto or find it on youtube.

Post by: Blue Fescue on May 25, 2010, 08:06:07 PM: Sibelius and Chopin are my favourites. Especially Chopin's Etudes. But I will pretty much listen to any of it. Thrift stores are so good for buying mass quantities of classical music for next to nothing.

Post by: Omamori on August 25, 2010, 12:04:14 PM: I have been an admirer of classical music since I was a kid. I have many favorites, but these stand out the most
Moonlight Sonata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck#)
pachelbel's Canon in D--Soothing music(the best version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOA-2hl1Vbc#)
Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o#)
Bach - Air on a G String (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MYzkBiJn5Y#)
Title: Re: Classical Music
Post by: Smell Good on August 30, 2010, 12:24:03 PM: Got done with Mahler's first symphony.

Am listening to Tchaikovsky's 5th right now, third movement (the waltz) w/Antoni Wit conducting. I've always been rather indifferent to Tchaikovsky.

It sounds nice though.

Post by: able on January 06, 2011, 06:50:58 PM: I find it fascinating that when Igor Stravinsky premiered his Rite of Spring in 1913 it caused a riot in the theater. The music began cool and calm and erupted into a terrifying chorus of horns, drums, strings. The audience had never heard such sounds and went completely ape shit. There are rumors that during the chaos Stravinsky hid behind stage and wept. After that night people thought he was a monster. He did a second premier around a week later and people lined the streets eager to find out what caused such ruckus. They had heard stories of how this wild new music drove normal people into madmen and prepared accordingly. There was no riot at the second preimer of Rite of Spring. Rumors say that he was even carried out of the theater by and adoring crowd.

This song isn't exactly my 'cup of tea' but I'm blown away by the story behind it.
Here's some of the more raucous parts of it
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSyoi0EGYBw#)

To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of classical music itself but I'm really into
the stories behind the music. Particularly Beethoven and his hearing loss.
It's boggles my mind how he composed so many great songs while being totally deaf.
Here's my favorite Beethoven song (Moonlight Sonata) paired with one of my favorite skateboarders (Pat Brennan).
May they both rest in peace

Post by: MaXX_I-D on September 27, 2021, 02:48:17 AM: I was in an orchestral band in high school, but I was definitely being a “cool” person at the time and never really listened or cared about it. I recently started listening to some “western art music”(you know, what the kids are calling it) and have been enjoying it. Sitting through full pieces still sucks but I have enjoyed listening to sections over and over again.

I’ve really found myself enjoying Satie recently and listening to Gnossienne 1 (lent) quite a bit.
https://youtu.be/C_LYEfnpp9M (https://youtu.be/C_LYEfnpp9M)
(I really like Anne Queffélec’s playing of it specifically)

I’ve been liking JSB recently too. I like the 2 bourees in his 3rd cello suite.
https://youtu.be/UBAWYalhH8o (https://youtu.be/UBAWYalhH8o)
(I like Mstislav Rostropovich’s playing)
I like contrapunctus 9 from the art of fugue too.
https://youtu.be/ZBxcm8OEZ_M (https://youtu.be/ZBxcm8OEZ_M)
(I like it with just the piano better, but wasn’t able to find one I liked on YouTube)

I always enjoyed Holst’s the planets, they’re like movie music for your mind. I’d have to say I’m pretty basic when it comes to my taste in them;(I like the Berlin philharmonic’s recordings)
I like Mars
https://youtu.be/8UfpgT9FMAk (https://youtu.be/8UfpgT9FMAk)
Jupiter
