"Classical Music"

I got back into it and made a compilation again last night. I used to listen to lots when I studied and I brought it back out and now I'm just enjoying it.

Some of it is just, not sounding gay but its beautiful. Some can be uplifting and relaxing whilst others get me more worked up than a Rage Against the Machine song, it rules.

Some of my favourites would have to be.

Staruss - Sunrise
Pavanne - Faure
Rodrigo - Concerto di Aranjuez
Albinoni - Adagio
Bach - Air (on a G String)
Carmina Burana - O Fortuna
Requiem - Dies Irae
Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner
Carmen - Prelude
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata

Sheepu - "accquire", ie download, "Adagio for Strings".

But for the life of you, pray that you don't get the retarded attempt at a club mix.
Yep.

Some spazticated dance moron tried to take this beautiful piece of music and turn it into a nightclub track.

Phillistine.

So yeah.
Get eet.

i recommend

vivaldi's flute concerto(i think thats what it's called)
and beethoven's moonlight sonata and fur elise(obviously)

How about Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathrustra"? It's the climatic music they used on 2001 A Space Odyssey.

I'm also a big fan of Holst's "The Planets" - borrowed a CD of a mate about 10 years ago and never gave it back ...

baroque and roll

I have Rachmaninov for when I'm calm.

*floats and goes wooo-hooooo*

I'm a fan of beethoven myself :) I got into it when my girlfriend asked me to watch "Immortal Beloved"

Odd, I get that too...

Hey - if you like that, get the 'truman show' soundtrack. supoib!

I got into classical music through the LOTR soundrack, anyone who sullys its name is a philistine.

I misread that line as

"seriously, I can't picture the sheepmeister with his wang in hand, conducting in the middle of his living room,"

Should have gone to Specsavers.
