Give me some Classical stuff to listen to...:)

There's nothing like choir music.

 

There is if you listen to it all !!!

 

Nicole Paganini, Bach and Brahms.

Rock wise; Yes, Deep Purple, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Electric Light Orchestra.

 

I don't know why he's so often overlooked, yet his compositions are magnificent. His "Planets" cycle inspired John Williams, among others, in creating the Star Wars soundtrack. Listening to "Planets," I get the impression he was ahead of his time. And when Bach and Mozart can sound archaic, Gustav Holst still sounds very good today

 

This is fun. This amazing musician does piano covers of classic rock/metal songs and some great originals. She’s also one of the most amazing guitar players around.

 

This is my single contribution to Classical but I have a tsunami of love for this composition and this video. I love all of the closeups of these musicians! Strauss the Son, so many great movements in this masterwork....

 

Oh but I do have 1 other favorite by a contemporary of Strauss on the 'other side' of Austria-Hungary.... Franz (Ferenc) Liszt, who was known for blending a sense of humor into his music, and this really shows that I think....

 

Valentina Lisitsa certainly owned this work during that recording, the stucato and rapid use of the sustain pedal was remarkable.
Do you remember the priests skating on ice Stella advert that used this work.

 

I cannot stop laughing.

 

I love great violins! and piano!

Thank you! Ringo Starr, I'm so curious about that

I love power in music, love to feel the music, like symphonic metal, but I can always listen to Beethoven. Dad loves Tchaikovsky and I think my mom (RIP) did too.

Neoclassical if I may, I used to love listening to these guys. Cellos! here playing Metallica....

 

My sweetie told me several years ago that Liszt had Synesthesia, that he could 'see' music as colors.

 

POWERFUL! I love it

 

Beautiful!
