Do you like classical music?

Question

There is some classical stuff I like, Jascha Heifetz is a very good classical violinist and I like listening to him.

Answer 1

ok its like this...

i dont hate it, and i admit i do have a small taste for it when in the mood, but it isnt a first chioce of mine. just so u know, i dont know any classical artists...but that doesnt mean i totally dislike it.

i love, no, ADORE the sound of the violin. omg, there are really no words for how much i enjoy the sound of that instrument. same goes with the piano...they are tied in my book! i want to learn to play both.

Answer 2

Absolutely. I love going to concerts and attending workshops. I enjoy the brilliance of the compositions, the performer's excellent execution of the piece and the atmosphere of listening to it in a concert hall.

I like romantic artists such as the impressionists Debussy and early twentieth century composers such as Prokofiev.

Classical music has a calming effort after a stress and is often used as a therapy.

There are a lot classical crossover music where artists such as Sarah Brightman, Maksim Mrvca Josh Groban and Vanessa Mae want to get into the mainstream audience.

Today's 'classical' composers write for film, and are sometimes termed as 'new age.'

Answer 3

as every music genre it depends on my mood
i like some classical music: good interprets, big composers and so on.
Sometimes I use classical music to put me to sleep because its relaxing. On contrary rock music keeps me awake.
I like the radio hours that mix classical with other related genres. I don't like the exaggerate praises that you can hear on radio after some interpretations.
I like music in general and classical makes a part of the big picture.
Sometimes I remember with pleasure classical partitures from movies: Mozart opera in "Amadeus" or Wagner in "The new world"

Answer 4

I adore classical music, but can not stand watching it. Watching a chamber group or orchestra has never enhanced my appreciation of it...I love to listen.
Listen to "The Rite of Spring" Stravinsky
"New World Symphony" Dvorak
Symphony #5 Tchaikovsky
...and of course, "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin (probably, my favourite piece of music ever)
BUT... don't think that I'm a classical snob! My music of choice is still Springsteen, Costello, Rush, R.E.M.,et al...

As I remember Steve Earle (...another favourite...) saying, "there are only two kinds of music...good and bad..."

...try those, let me know what you think...

Answer 5

Yes, I like classical music very much
my No. 1 choice in music

Answer 6

Yes! I actually have tickets to see Joshua Bell next week. It can give me goosebumps. Listening to classical music is like being taken on a ride. It doesn't "go in circles" like other music. Hope that makes sense.

Answer 7

Robert Casadesus's rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is excellent. I've also been a huge fan of Aaron Copland's work, especially the American heritage music he composed. Still, nothing beats Wellington's Victory.

Answer 8

My mom raised me listening to classical music. I grew up with that being all I really listened to so yes, I LOVE it.

Yanni
Beethoven (I adore)
Mozart
Haydn
Bach

There are so many. I still listen to a lot of classical music.

Answer 9

Yes I do. I enjoy all the "classics". And I also like the new stuff like the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is great.

Answer 10

Yes. I t mellows me at times and I just can drift away with the music. Then there are those classical pieces that just overwhelm you with feelings of excitement.
