Classical Music | Forum

As I explore classical music I find myself enjoying opera at a growing rate. One piece I find in particular fresh is Il mondo e nostro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ng4hqtsPYs

Ahh, that's a great one. Jonathan and Charlotte are quite the duo. 

Depends on the style of classic music as some play more like pop or boy bands. Then again there are those like Beethoven who is every bit a rock star at his core. Add to this you only need a quick search to find classic music done with electrical instruments or rock and metal done with classical instruments.

There are purists on all sides that don't like the mixing of styles but then there are those who knock down these made up rules just because they are there. There are the well known iconic versions player on the electric guitar such as Vivaldi's The four seasons or Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata that even the purists would be hard pressed to dislike. On the other side there are easy to find groups on youtube like the 2 Cellos and many others reversing the idea.

I hate classical music. It's boring as fuck and depressing for me. I'm not particularly fond of operas either. I watched a few but I was more interested in their plot than in music. I find Mozart's operas somehow more palatable than others. My favorite opera is "The Magic Flute".

And I absolutely abhor Maria Callas. You can chase me away with her crowing. My mother once listened to her so I went to another room.

I can respect classical music. It's nothing I would listen to if I were in control of the music but I really do enjoy it whenever I hear it.

I'm a fan of classical, especially the Baroque and Romantic periods.  My personal favorites usually tend to be Operas, especially those of Wagner and Mozart.  This is a relatively short example from one of my favorite Operas:

Ein Schwert Verhieß Mir Der Vater, Die Walkure

I due enjoy classical music when I'm cooking just like Hannibal Lecter

I greatly enjoy Turkish classical music.
