hooked on classics

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Two years ago I accidently tore the antenna from my clock radio. Since then the only station it can receive undistorted is a German classics station. So, for two years now I wake up with classics every morning. Thinking about it, my life not really took a very good course in the last two years. Maybe I should consider buying a new clock radio...

But back to classics.
I really love the light stuff from Debussy and Saint-Saen. In the right mood I can appreciate the requiem from Verdi and the one from, of course, Dvorak very much. Dead good stuff. :)

I hate the stuff. While I appreciate the sheer musical mastery of it all, 2 years of GCSE music really sucks out the last of your enthusiasm for anything pre-1900.

Ah c'mon, someone's going to say Carmina Burana, surely?

Some years ago I joined one of those monthly clubs cos their initial offer was a 10 cd collection of greatest hits by the 10 'greatest' composers. Seemed like something no home should be without. I listened to the Vivaldi one a lot. The rest didn't get much of an airing.

Gawd, I listen to more classical music than anything else. I've got more classical cds and records than you can wave a baton at.
It's got to the stage where I'm buying loads of different recordings of the same works for comparison. Even buying classical bootleg cds for gawd's sake.

Its orful but I like it :roll:

I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

Ed Alleyne-Johnson's Variations on Pachabel's canon is prolly the closest I get.

Wagner very much indeed! Chopin and Pucini and some others too

Too many to mention really, because of what I tend to forget most of them... And I don't listen that much classical music anyway, but there sure is some good stuff around :lol:

Someone else's choice, as well... :innocent:

...NOT that this detracts from it, in my opinion.

I see a few folk have already got in there with the Planet Suite, but that really does have a special place in my heart. Way back in the mists of time, pre-discovery-of-Beatles (my rock'n'roll christening), I listened to only ONE record. And that was it.

Aged about 7... to about 10... nothing but that. Every bloody day. Maybe I've listened to "Mars" even more times than "Dominion".
And the less said about Uranus... :roll: :innocent:

The other kids laughed at me. I didn't understand why. :lol:

Haven't heard it for... well, more than a decade I guess. But I can still hum it, whistle it, doo-doo-doo it, note for note. You don't wanna hear that.
