Well as you might know , I love and respect music to the fullest ... I think that classical music is one of the most important types of music , thanks to them many forms and kind of notation develope , and well the influences even in modern music are clear ..I think classical music is amazing .. and well I love the all from early early classical music to modern , I think there's great composer :Mozart,Vivaldi,debussy,Monteveri in others ...

So let's discuss your opinions on classical music ..

Indeed. Classical music is very involved for the listener - so many layers acting together, with the greatest compositions never sounding the same with every listen.

Also, Classical music is rather cheap to purchase.

While I don't listen to Classical as often as I ought to, I do manage to listen to some in my car's CD player every now and then. My favourite composers are Tchaikovsy, Rachmaninoff, Stravinski, Sousa, and Holst.

Hi my dear, excellent thread, I think that if you like a great variety of music, but good music, then you should appreciate classical music, it's just amazing, it's the most tallented music, it inspires so many things to me... , every note is placed in their correct place, well, I just love this music, although I don't listen to it so often, and I agree with you in the fact that this music has influenced in many kinds of music, even modern
My favorite composers are Mozart, Vivaldi, Chopin, Albinoni

I listen to classical music quite often. It´s a great way to relax and also when I´m reading for exams classical music helps me concentrate. When I was little, my father used to put some classical music to the record player instead of reading a tale for me. It helped me to get sleep. My favourite composers are Mozart, Beethoven, Sibelius and Albinoni.

Yeah i agree that classical music helps you to relax. It is a type of music that never dies , it's "eternum".
My best composers are Bach , Mozart and Beethoven

Emmm I love Vivaldi.
Bach "Air on G" is amazing if you takle the right performing.
And like a few more ongs by Bach.

Mozart and Beethoven are pretty kitchy and nice 2.
I have a great CD at home, all but that i dont really know Classical Music :S

I have huge collection of classical music (over 200 cd's) masterpieces,collections,operas,chamber music and such.
I listen these classics quite regularly

I played classical guitar 14 years it was mind wrecking

My favs are:Tchaikovsky
Beethoven
Liszt
Sibelius - of cource
Borodin
Mozart

and list goes on ...

Hey guys ..thanks for the comments ..so yeah I must say that in order to appreacite other styles of music one must apreciate all the roots of it ; Music had been a live forever ... in the beggining it was used more like a way of comunication but then it develope and I just think is amazing to see that in those times composers so amazing were alive and compose so many beautiful things ... you know whenI was young I used to think well as years passed then music will be better and better but I was wrong , I mean today music is awesome but I don't think is anything compare as classical where they use not computer /machine to make their music better ... it was pure music and it is amazing to see composers like Beethoven ....

Great Composers and music all of you have mention ....

About a classical music concert: In the city where I live there are not many cultural events What a pity!
Once I went with my father to a classical guitar music concert, It was just great, everything was great, but I've never been in a concert with conductor and lots of musicians.

About this page, it's great that even extreme metal musicians like the most talented music which is the inspiration of many kinds of music, I'm really surprised that even in extreme metal classical music is important!

If talking about Classical music already...


CAn somebody bring up Good conductors?

Im start with Karajan, the most famous probably. I love his work.

@The alchemist : Well my dear it is great , and I'm sure one day we'll go to any concert classical music or Opera .I also like guitar concerts I love them classical guitar is beautiful , so is not that bad don't worry ...and yes about what you said of other artist I agree with you ....


@Ridden Disease : Indeed this guy is great ,well about other conductors , I really enjoy Mohammadreza Amirghasemi he is from Iran or somewhere around and I think he is just great ...I like the way he conducts and well he has study music for a long time ...anyways I hope to see more conductors and show you more ...

Thanks

@Icewings: It'd be really great, sure it'll happen
About the classical guitar: yes, it's awesome, the music is really beautiful, when the concert which I went was finish, I just felt so good, full of culture...
But anything equals a concert with conductor and around 60 musicians

I have alot of respect for classical music, though i dont actually listen to it on a regular basis, its easy to see the influence on many modern metal bands.

I listen this music in intrenet radis, tv and ... but I dont by CD's I listen it sfter hard exame, hard day, or when Im mentaly tired to listen metal, or after heavy drinking when, you know it helps relaxe and its great, I dont hawe any fav composers, I lsitan all, I dont care what composer it is, I only enjoy it

P.S. BTW soem metal bands use clasical msuic elements
Therion, Asma Deava, The Summoring........................

The Alchemist: yEAH I understand you ..and it must have been great ... I know the feeling after a concert .. so well like I said one day we will go so you can see all the 60+ musicians and the conductor ...

@\Frost/bitten: Well maybe you should try more , there's wonderful pieces , and yes it has so so so much influences in not only metal but a lot of types of music ....

@Kariasakis7: well is good that you listen to it , it opens your mind more to music , which is good .... even that you don't buy cd's I admire the you listen to it with what you can ..

and yes not only those bands but since I study music , there's times sit down and listen to so many bands that have so many classical music elements , it's amazing , I always speak with my teachers about this ..and it's great ...

Thanks guys

@ Icewings I think the guys on that video aren´t Laiho and Latvala from COB... But Laiho has played violin, when he was something like 5 years old. And also Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish started with clarinet.

Many metal bands get their inspiration partly from classical music. And for example Apocalyptica is a great combination of classical and metal music.

Well my dear , I really thought it was Laiho , and at first I didn't pay attention that is doesn't look like them but I see again and maybe you are right , I don't know but it's a good cover I like it a lot and yeah They started with the classical influence just like Tilo ..who more than Tilo from Lacrimosa , you can see the influence all over it ....

and about Apocalytica ..great combination , I always dream of music like that ..they are great ....I love those combinations ..well my dear thanks for the comment

Another band which has a great classical music influence is Epica, specially in "Consign To Obvilon" album, in songs like Trois Vierges, Solitary Ground, The Last Crusade and Quietus

I was once into the habit of listening to classical music on the internet raido, however they never announced the name of the song/composer so found it frustrating when i found a song i liked.

Now i just listen to an assortment of songs that i actually DO know who they are by

I am a composer and pianist myself, and I know quite a bit about Classical music.

Did you hear about György Ligeti's death? He passed away last Monday in Vienna. Ligeti is one of the most important contemporary Classical composers, and his works will be remembered throughout the centuries together with other geniuses like Toru Takemitsu, Olivier Messiaen or Luciano Berio. Rest in peace

Ligeti?. Same guy who composed that brilliant monolith music to the Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001 Space odyssey?

The same. Inventor of micropolyphony, developer of Béla Bartók's school and composer of all-time classic soundtracks like "2001 Space Odyssey" or "Eyes Wide Shut". RIP.

@The Alchemist :Ohh yes my dear a lot a lot of influence ...my teacher and I we were listening to Rhapsody and there is so much influence is amazing ....heheheh I got my opera teacher to listen to Lacrimosa, Therion,Rhapsody and she liked it ...

@ Ba'al Peor: OOhhh yes my dear I know ...that happened to me but but with the Jazz or experimental music , but well I like what you are doing now , so you can see what songs is it that you like ...

@ Taktsekte :How cool , I really admire that my friend , well yes if you study any indtruments you have to know a little of classical music and well is good to know some roots and all of that and about Ligeti , well he was great rest in peace ..

@heresiarch: He was great !

@Icewings: yes, how could i forgot Rhapsody, Therion and Lacrimosa of course!

I've heard someone saying that Mozart and Beethoven were the metalheads of classical music because they make some dark music, similary to metal and maybe if electric guitar had existed at that time, metal would exist since long time ago, what do you think?

Respect

@The alchemist : Ohh dear don't worry there is so many music to see that has been influence by classical that I'm sure we weill stay the whole night ...but anyways ...just to mention a few ...

about the other thing , jejejej this sounds cool , but well yeah they had dark stuff , but there were other composers even in the romantic era and they had even more darker stuff ...so well a lot of them had a life that today they don't show but yeah maybe ...and well about the guitars and metal probably , but we also have to see the periods of time which has a lot of influence on the music ..anyways my dear i HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON ....

@ marinBG: Oh yeah it deserves more than respect but a lot of admiration .....
