Anybody Like Classical Music?

I'm especially keen on responses from the ladies, but guys are welcome to post too. What are your favourites? Ever make love to a Beethoven symphony, or perhaps Stravinsky's Rite of Spring? Maybe you like a little Chopin to set a romantic mood before doing the deed. Many people fear that classical music is dying. Do you agree? Do you care? Perhaps you find classical music inherently un-sexy. if so, why?

Did you do anything creative with that flute you played in high school?

I love classical music! My absolute favourite piece of all time is 12 Etudes, Op. 25: No. 11 in A minor by Frederick Chopin. The piece is also referred to as Winter Wind which when you listen to it sounds (to me) exactly like a winter scene! Starting with soft snow fall and then suddenly a gust of wind blows and turns the gentle scene into a blizzardy chaos. Or at least that’s how I interpret it.

IMHO Hayato Sumino plays it the best!


I’m always impressed and astonished at the dexterity of their fingers to hit all those keys so quickly without a single mistake!

In general, I like to listen to classical music to relax, or to focus on a task. It’s very soothing to me. I also like to try to pick out and isolate all the instruments I can hear in whatever piece I’m listening too. It’s an awesome grounding exercise actually!

Chopins' melodic works are just as impressive as the technical ones.
Really didn't appreciate Chopin until I heard an Oscar Peterson recording ( dont remember the album or piece ).
 
I like listening to classical music on LP vinyl.
There is no easy way to hop tracks other than getting up from your listening position every 22 minutes or so to flip or put on another LP.

We are just back from a few days of road trip about southwest Ontario, hitting thrift stores along the way.
I came back with 55 new to me LP's, most bought for $2 or $3 each.

So now I am set for a winter season chilling to the classics in the back room.
Enjoying the sun when it shines, or the fireplace crackling when it is chilly.

If anyone knows who made the quote, speak up, "Anton Bruckner is like AC/DC, all his symphonies sound the same...and I love every one".

Dave Hurwitz suggests that Herr Bruckner had an affair with Frau Blucher.

 
Timothee Chalemet started something that keeps on rolling. These ballerina photo sets have become extremely popular.

Presenting the utterly charming Ms Taylor O'Meara.

Taylor O'meara is the Bobby Orr of ballet. She spent two years recovering from injures, returning to the Academy last year. I can only assume that her body broke down after a growth spurt.


This is pre injury, #869 is current.

Taylor O'meara is part of Master Ballet Academy, she's irresistible. Once she's done with them, she can easily write her own ticket in NYC.

The camera loves her.

What am I doing, I haven't seen a ballet in my life. Rodney Dangerfield took his wife to the ballet, she forgot the sandwiches.

Getting back to the Father of Heavy Metal: Anton Bruckner.
