Classical Music rocks

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?
 
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".
 
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?
 
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.
 
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.

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

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.
 
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..........🙂
