Classical Music rocks

[wyvrn]

I am listening to Canon in D and Greensleeves. There really is no music to compare to these great works. What are your favorite classical songs?

 

[Aceshigh]

I love Carl Orff's Camina Burana.

Also I like Wagner's Gotterdamnerung (sp?) and Siegfried's funeral march.

Got turned on to this stuff by the movie "Excalibur".

Greensleeves?

Also, everybody seems to be pulled in by Pachelbel's Canon.

How about classical and rock, at the same time? That rocks even more!

There are way too many pieces. They're often even better if you attach an emotion or event in your life to them.

classical music rocks? isnt that kind of an oxymoron? i mean, rock and roll rocks, but wouldn't classical be more of a "sounds nice" kinda adjective?

 

[Kadarin]

I like classical music remixed into trance/techno. For example, Canon in D..

heheh i love classical... i don't listen to it much but i've played classical trumpet for 12 years. there is no better feeling in the world than playing trumpet in a good orchestra.

My favorites: Pictures At An Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky and Adagio by Samuel Barber

some of beethoven's piano sonatas are really good (esp. Piano Sonata #17, mvmt 3 "The Tempest"). I'd also recommend some Mendelssohn (esp. the Violin Concerto), Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto #3 in particular), and Schubert (Impromptu in G-flat major is nice) to start with.

 

[Goosemaster]

Racmaninoff Piano Concerto #3

Prokofiev.....
Sibelius...


Damn..here them as played by Jascha Heifetz and you'll ooze out of your chair...

I have a track of Greensleeves played on acoustical guitar. It is really nice. Also Fur Elise is beautiful.

Good morning world.

The key of D is the best one. I remember I made a program to just play random notes in the key of D (all in one octave) and it sounded nice. Something about those F#s and C#s I guess.

 

[Red Dawn]

Everytime I hear Wagners The Ride of the Valkyries I think of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny

I have Wagner, Tchiakosky, Beethoven and Mozart on my playlist at times.

Sound track to the movie "Bramm Stokers Dracula"...amazing stuff. Incredible recording..........

 

[GrumpyMan]

Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2 and 3.

 

[Schadenfroh]

i like the music in 1942
