POLL: Do you like Classical Music?

[godspeedx]

I'm just starting to get into classical music. Bach, Mozart, that stuff. 17 years old.

Of course I haven't abandoned my other music, but I'm curious as to how many of you enjoy listening to classical.

 

[tweakmm]

I enjoy listening to classical music, but I enjoy playing classical music much more.

 

[ThePresence]

Hell yes. Most people that say they don't like it never really gave it a chance. Luckily, my parents had classical stuff playing alot when I was a little kid, so I gained an appreciation for "REAL" () music at a young age. I like heavy stuff too.

 

[Gyrene]

I love it. Of course the fiancee plays the Harp, so I kinda have to.

 

[PlatinumGold]

Beethovens Pathetique, best piano piece EVAR.

 

[Czar]

Yeah, I know! Some of the best classical music is probably some of the best music ever written.

 

[kalster]

[Hayabusa Rider]

I love classical music!

Live performances in particular.

I know two Chinese identical twin girls who play piano duets, and favor Bach. They invited me to a private recital for next week. Ought to be fun .

I have found that a live performance actually takes away from the music, for me at least. It's hard to concentrate on the music while you are watching the orchestra. Maybe I'm just crazy.

 

[shekondar]

Yes, when I'm in the mood for it. Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is my favorite (but ONLY the version performed by the London Philharmonic with the Band of the Coldstream Guards)

grand sonata in C Minor is the BEST piano piece ever written.

is that better??

 

[Descartes]

I listen to 75% classical music, about 20% Delerium'esque music, and 5% other nonsense (mostly Evanescence right now).

That's one of the first Beethoven piano sonatas I learned to play; the adagio is my favorite. If you liked his #8 you'll probably like all 32, but #23 (Appassionata) will mostly suit your palate.

By "his" I assume you mean Alfred Brendel, right?

Hehe, yeah if he's the one who produces Beethoven stuff for CD.

I quickly realized after posting that my post implied Beethoven came out with albums.
