Alright, who listens to classical

[Sinister Angel]

When I say Classical, I'm grouping in actual classical, romantic, and neo-classical in there as well. If you do, is there anyone you listen to a bit?

For me, I like Strauss (Richard and Johann II), as well as Tchaikovsky. For the neo-classical/romantic category, it's Samuel Barber, who every one would know for Adagio For Strings, which is used in Platoon, and was played after the deaths of President Roosevelt and President Kennedy. Kind of a funny thing about classical is it actually works rather well when driving hard. It just clears my mind, makes me relaxed, and allows me to concentrate, or zone out, whichever I feel like doing at the time.

Mozart for "pop" classical
Bach, if i feel like hitting something

Overall i am partial to Spanish classical, Flamenco (it's in the blood)

Isaac Albeniz
Joaquin Rodrigo
Manuel de Falla

Ohh yeah, Paco De Lucia is God.

I also like classical, and will raise the bar, I also like to listen to Opera

Yeah I like all the various instrument arrangements. Especially the skin flute.

Wait, is Orff's Carmina Burana considered an opera?

Rachmaninoff's 3rd concerto. His etudes are good when you are feel like hitting something. Liszt etudes are some of my favorites. He was just a show-off. Chopin's polonaises are good too. They just plain kick azz!

You mean the Misfits aren't classical music?

I had to take a music appreciation class my first year of college. Most boring class in the world. I have to say that baroque period of "music" is by far the worst. Even the "chants" period was better.

Classical is good for 2 times:

1. Studying

2. Relaxing

It makes me think better or relax. However I got a REALLY funny look then I first got the Cobra back in 2002 and drove up to a stoplight blasting "Fanfare for the Common Man". I guess it just didn't fit.

I dig Bach's Brandenburg Conceirtos(sp.). Good stuff.

Nicolo Pagannini is a bad ass too.

I like pretty much like all kinds of classical. It calms me down after a crappy day at work plus a few drinks help to.

Haha, baroque is the suck! That's why I didn't include it in the Classical category, cuz it sucks!

I agree. I've had the same experience the other day. In bumper to bumper traffic that the 210 is very well accustom to and Classical music was the only thing holding me back from lightin' the tires on the freeway and going insane. Mozart is my fave.

That makes for great music in street racing videos for announcing the mods on the Goliath car. I can't stand classical on CD, but on a record, it is heavenly. Dunno why, but that's how I like it. Something about the sound of a record, not to mention it's hard to get Caruso recordings on CD. I can't stand Bochelli though. He sounds like someone poked his e... nevemind. :lol1:
