goose Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I grrew up in a household with classical playing quite alot because that is my father's favorite music. I am partial to baroque, so I like Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, and also Mozart and Beethoven.How could anyone not like those five, really? Just magnificent music... My son and I are learning to play piano together, and I so look forward to playing some of their easier pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I grew up with a lot of classical but also opera. My mom was on the guild of the local opera company and I used to help paint sets now and then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 To paraphrase Zappa: The good music has already been written by the dead guys in powdered wigs. Beethoven reveals himself, Mozart reveals the world and Bach reveals the universe. Bach is the master...the fugues, the solo violin works and the Brandenburg Concertos (and subsequent variations), to mention but a few are amazing works of melody, improvisation and manipulation of intervals. The pinnacle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Yes - totally like classical music and opera. Probably have 300 - 400 albums of classical music and opera. Grew up listening to it as mom had it on all the time and when I visit my folks they still have it on a lot so I get to listen to it when ever I visit them (which is most weekends). In fact, I am even open to going beyond classical western music (which is all we have talked about here) and have picked up a couple of CD's of classical Chinese, Japanese and middle eastern / north African music. Interesting stuff - might try even more of it. Plus I have several CD's of Gregorian Choral music and other music from the middle age. Again, interesting stuff and will probably pick up more of it in the future. So yes - big time like classical.

Turbine Freight Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Well I finally got around to acquiring the Mercury Living Presence Vol 1 box set & I must say that it is a treasure trove of beautiful music. Thus far the best disc is a collection of music from the American Civil War, none of which I have ever heard. That disc alone was worth the purchase. I thoroughly recommend this set & I will but Vols 2 & 3 with alacrity. Edited November 14, 2015 by Turbine Freight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
