"Classical music"
    #944376 - 10/09/02 12:56 AM (21 years, 3 months ago)

Before on these boards I've taken a slagging for listening to Classical music, but come on, who else listens to it? I'm a music student so obviously it's my degree, but I would anyway cause I love it.

Just now I'm listening to Messian (Quartet for the End of Time), Avro Part (Fractras and I am the True Vine), Shostakovich and Bach (both shitloads); mostly.

If you've never/rarely listened to classical music, make an effort and check some out. It's worth it. And don't just go for Mozart, Beethoven etc. If you don't like that, that doesn't mean shit. That's like using the Beatles to represent all of rock/pop/hip hop/trance/drum n bass/techno etc.

Some excellent, quite mainstream, easily accesable tripping/stoning music is:
Barber: Adagio for Strings
Elgar: Serenade for Strings
Messian: Tarangualina (sp.) Symphony - incredible sounds
Shostakovich: Symphony no. 5
Tchaikovsky: Ballet Suites
Debussy, Prokofiev, Grieg, and obviously all the famous master guys Bach Beethoven Brahms Mozart etc

etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc...............

Yup, from his Four Seasons violin concertos, right? They're great.

Shit, they're played on marimbas though! I might have to get that, it sounds pretty good

I play cello, and piano (allegedly). Favourite piece to play is a bit of a tough question, but orchetrally the best thing I've ever played is Shostakovich 5th symphony, chamber probably Borodin String Quartet 2 or Schubert Piano Trios, solo Haydn Cello Conerto.

I know what you mean about Bach; some people love him, some people hate him. I love him though; there's so much more there than just technical genius. Listen to stuff like the St Matthew Passion, the Bach Solo cello suites (played well, eg by Casals); they're incredibly profound pieces of music.
