Anybody Like Classical Music?

I'm trying to post the vid of the Vienna Philharmonic playing one of their favourite pieces - the Radetzky March. The audience gets so into it that the conductor does a 90 degree turn and leads the orchestra and the crowd. Everyone's just having a blast!
But, I suck with these newfangled computational electro-boxes.
Do yourselves a favour and find the vid........guaranteed to perk you up!

Way ahead of you, brother!

In case an introduction may be in need, may I present the world-renowned, lovely and talented Hei Kyung Hong, she of lyric soprano status:

Love those corsets!

I set em up... you knock em down!

Keiko Kubota, Wakana Ootaki, Hikaru of the classically trained, sopranos-in-waiting Kalafina group are no slouches either...

and pretty easy on the eyes, may I add!

 

[Don Draper]

Oh So Heavenly!

The best introduction to opera is through cartoons, Bugs Bunny in The Rabbit Of Seville or Elmer Fudd singing Kill da Wabbit to to the tune of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries".
Classical music isn't always soothing, it can be the angriest music sometimes.

Carl Stallings, who did the music for the Looney Tunes Cartoons, was a genius.

Classical music produces it's fair share of gorgeous/talented women: Julia Fischer
