Thread: anyone here like classical?

Bach, Vivaldi, Paganini, Handel, I love em all!

If you like the barber of seville, you'll love this:

Hilarious a capella.






Vadrum is pretty awesome too. Plays on a drumset to classical tunes (and others)

I saw vadrum months ago. The guy is awesome. Didn't know that you can play something like classical music on drums in that manor!

I like Vivaldi's four seasons! Just brilliant!

I absolutely adore classical music. I really like the baroque period, but am also fond of composers like Brahms, Shostakovich (fabulous music), Rachmaninoff, Bruch, and many many more.
If you want to see some more funny videos on classical music, you should check these, they're pretty hilarious:

Here's one of my favorite classical works. Video doesn't do nearly enough justice sometimes...

J.S. Bach - Brandenburg Concerto no.5 First Movement

Classic is nice to sleap :>

Yay! It's awesome knowing that I'm not the only one that enjoys classical.
The Rachmaninov video is hilarious! I'll watch the other ones later.

Thanks for the video on Brandenburg concerto. Beautiful!

For pianos you can't beat Kempff. Moonlight Sonata mv 3
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSulR9Fymg&feature=related]YouTube - Wilhelm Kempff plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata mvt. 3[/ame]

Kempff's beethoven interpretation is a classic one :) I like the clip that goes with the Summer by I Musici. Incidentally, do you know the interpretation of the four seasons by Il Giardino Armonico (what an outstanding ensemble that is!), or better even the interpretation by Carmignola and the Venice Baroque Orchestra. The last one is really the best interpretation ever in my opinion. I'm seeding it now at Waffles =]
Btw have you seen this before, I think it's pretty funny:

This is my favorite classical album at the moment:

I absolutely adore all albums by Pluhar and her ensemble L'Arpeggiata. Think Via Crucis is their best so far.

BTW I really liked the clip you posted of Rossini by the King's Singers.

some classical melodies are one of the best i will ever hear
there are def some remarkable tunes

Huge fanatic of classical music. My fave would have to be Johannes Brahms

Although it's this piece here by Beethoven that got me into classical and to this day in my opinion is the greatest piece of classical work ever created.
