Classical anyone?

I only have one cd, Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings is
on it. The rest of the pieces are just opera and I can't
stand it :)

Adagio for strings is the piece at the end of Platoon. It
was also released by William Orbit as a very good remix.

Barbers Adagio for strings is good and I like Orbits 'remix'
too.

My favourite classical music (get them from audiogalaxy):

Sergei Prokofiev - Romeo And Juliet (Montagues And
Chapulets)

Modest Mussorgsky - Night on bald mountain

Modest Mussorgsky - Baba Yaga (From Pictures at an
exhibition)

Carl Orff - Carmina Burana

Ruyichi Sakamoto - Energy Flow (more like contemporary I
guess)

Ravel - Bolero

classical music is so underrated :)

Michael Nyman's soundtrack for 'the piano' is very
beautiful!!!

Beautiful movie as well!

You are a helpless romantic, I'll bet you have lots of
girlfriends ...

i have been an appreciator of classical music since i took
up the piano at the age of 13 or so - i have most of
beethoven's piano sonatas, a lot of chopin
waltzes/preludes/nocturnes/etudes/mazurkas, as well as quite
a few bach preludes/inventions/suites for my piano.

those three are my major icons in the classical world,
although i do love the symphonies of brahms, the piano
concertos by rachmaninov and grieg, and a lot of medieval
shit.

The thing about the early classical pieces is that to me
they sound like music theory. You know, like someone just
invented the piano and played scales up and down.

Oh yeah, I have Phillip Glass' Metamorphosis, if that counts
as classical. It's great, so monotonous and beautiful.

I haven't got Metamorphosis, but I've got Metamorphamix
(Aphex Twin remix).. mentioned it here couple of weeks ago.

Anybody got hold of this? Must be a hoax, but it's quite
good.

Most CDs in my collection contain classical music. I started
with Beethoven's symphonies 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, these were the
first to get me interested in that type of music.

beethoven's 6th is really under-rated, overshadowed as it is
by the 5th and the 9th.

PACO - i think you are referring to baroque music, which
placed the emphasis on Intellectuality - what makes bach so
supreme is the combination of mind and heart so to speak
