Classical music fans

[Zimmer36]

Not overly into classical music, but after watching the Shawshank Redemption, I was inspired to listen to Mozart's "Sull'aria...che soave zeffiretto". It was featured in one scene from the movie; I found it hauntingly beautiful:

If Hans Zimmer composed classical music, you know it would be epic lol.

Ahhh i like that Mozart piece as well. U should listen to his Requiem. At the very least the Kyrie,Dies Irae,Rex Tremendae and Lacrimosa parts. Theres simply nothing like it. Ive also recently discovered Tchaikovsky. His dance of the swans from swan lake is one of the best things u will ever hear as well as his violin piece Valse Sentimentale

 

[Zimmer36]

Wow, I liked this one, thanks!
I think it's really up to personal preference, but I could never get enough of classical music.




I haven't listened to Barber's music before, but I think I like it.


I loved it!!
As I said, Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer, and I love waltzes, but my favorite waltz is this one by Eugen Doga:

I also like the flower duet:

And many many more! I have a playlist with my personal favorites if anybody is interested, you can send me a PM.


I totally agree.

Lina can u send me your playlist? Thank u!

Yeah, the duet is really nice. =) I'll check them out today, thanks; listening to classical music can be really soothing, especially when doing computer work.

Btw, if anyone has other recommendations for classical songs to listen to, please let me know.

Adore André Rieu. Ballade pour Adeline always makes me teary/sand in my eyes.

Awesome thanks so much im gonna check that out! Glad to have another Tchaikovsky fan on the board. Another piece i discovered recently was Mozart's piano concerto 23 - Adagio. It is sublime.

Tchaikovsky is my all time favorite, I love his music!

Not that big a fan of him. I think my all time favorite is Georg P. Telemann.

He just edged out his life-long friend J.S. Bach.

 

[High Fidelity]

Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Wagner, Verdi, Mozart... where to even begin? It's such a broad and extensive history that it's difficult to even have favourites

I love a lot of old religious operatic or choral music, but I listen to so many different composers.

Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus

Mozart - Requiem

Giuseppe Verdi - La Traviata - Si ridesta in ciel l'aurora

La Traviata - Atto III, Scena e Duetto : "Signora..." - "Parigi, o cara, noi lasceremo" (36)

La Traviata - Atto Terzo: Scena ed Aria, "Teneste la promessa... - Addio del passato" (34)

I could go on but there are too many

Plaisir d'amour (The Pleasure of Love) is a very pretty French song from around the time of Mozart. It was written by an obscure composer, Jean-Paul Martini. If the melody sounds familiar, it was the basis for Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love. Nicely sung here by the German tenor, Fritz Wunderlich.

Love Handel's Messiah. Listening to I know that my redeemer liveth right now. Like Baroque and bought the complete JS Bach collection some time ago. Also like Beethovens 6th and 9th symphonies.

Messiah is incredible. It's a great display of vocal range and includes so many different sorts. It's also one of the few pieces that traditionally incorporates young male choristers, and you just can't beat or replicate that sound any other way

The absolute greatest JOY of my young life was playing in an award winning HS band and orchestra that blew me away with magnificent french horns and trumpets on pieces like this one, while I was sitting if front of them, the whole orchestra and/or band just swelling behind me, the vibs blowing through me like some kind of heavenly army:

 

[teresa]

ok, these guys are much better, sharper, crisper!

My favorite Mozart's aria

 

[FireDragon76]

Bach, Vivaldi, baroque music in general.

I use a 3DO emulator and I love messing around with "CPU Bach".

I also like Debussy.
