I play classical saxophone sometimes and even I don't listen to it on my own accord unless I'm trying to learn something. I know people attend concerts but it pretty much has to be either they know someone in the band or its a super famous one. I think it's mostly old people that still listen to it. Anybody wanna prove me wrong? Everyone here is old now so maybe someone's kid listens to it?

Yeah, sometimes. I typically like "aggressive" classical like Rachmaninoff and Corelli. I can't do stuff with lyrics when I have to really concentrate. And if modern soundtracks count, I went to a Joe Hisaishi concert and had a blast.

i do but pretty much only solo piano (chopin, rachmoninoff) or occasionally string quartets (usually newer composers like shostakovich or golijov). i dont really have the patience for symphonies or other big orchestral stuff

I do OP. I am old but ive listened since i was a kid, when i wore out my cassette copy of mozarts alla turca. The main problem is you'll eventually exhaust the standard repertoire unless you get into obscure avant garde poo poo. Like these days i dont expect anyone to link me a piece or composer from more than 50 years ago ive never heard of that blows me away but probably because i have bad taste.

Movie scores, yes all the time. Its not necessarily in the spirit of the thread, but I also listen to big band orchestra stuff sometimes As someone with a low class background and almost no formal education, I'm interested in classical but I find it almost impenetrable. I'm also interested in jazz, but same thing

I'm all about DeBussy We go to symphony performances and poo poo, and have a classical music station on most days because it is good background noise for our dog who barks at everything otherwise

My dad listens to classical music exclusively. And when I say "exclusively" I mean he literally listens to no other kind of music besides classical. He knows nothing about any other kind of music or even the names of any modern musicians. You mention any name or song title more recent than Carmina Burana, he doesn't know what it is. And even Carmina Burana is a coinflip. You have no idea how growing up with a man like that as a parent has hosed with my brain. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Feb 11, 2024 |

I was actually listening to Chopin earlier today, then this thread appears I was a mariachi nerd in high school and we shared the classroom/studio with orchestra. We would all play off each other and transcribe each other’s styles by ear. It was fun.

Sometimes when you're driving through the middle of nowhere and you can get lucky and find classic music in between all the country and the yellin preacher guys on the radio, that's usually when I listen to it

Driving around, NPR has a classic segment. Music festival in town features the regional orchestra one night. They played Pictures at an Exhibition one time and I practically wet my pants I was so excited.

I like classical music, but then I enjoy all the types of music so it isn't surprising. I'm also learning violin and viola so obviously classical pieces come up there a lot. Tell you what tho, some weird things. First, classical musicians loving love spouting the same audiophile poo poo as "regular" rock band style people, and if asked to prove anything they dismiss it the same, but if you point out they sound like a wanky guitarist they have this weird default to "well guitarists aren't *classical* musicians who are clearly a different type of person altogether" it's fucken weird. Second is the moment I started looking into classical stuff suddenly my YouTube recommendations are trying to pitch me straight up right wing conservative channels. Like videos named poo poo like "the left is lying to all of us". I have never seen any of those recs until recently, it's loving weird. Anyway, Vivaldi's Winter, first movement is a banger tho.

I like classical, but I feel like sometimes you gotta be in the right headspace. Like taking a nice warm bath and settling into a comfortable chair. Here's some Schubert. Lieder, under 6 minutes long. Brendel and Fischer-Dieskau. I think that length of works vs popular music is a big factor in people not getting into classical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apky5R4Ffds Final major work by Schubert before his premature death, which he knew was coming. I think that Uchida captures some of the emotional nuances of the piece here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPE-Iyj1Ago More Fischer-Dieskau, this time in Berlioz's Faust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2-t09wSszk

You Are A Werewolf posted:I have a few E. Power Biggs albums of Bach organ music. They’re dope. IIRC I scored like 30GB of ratio ripping the top one for a What.CD bounty like 14 years ago from a copy in a local library, so when I saw a copy at Value Village a couple months ago in mint condition for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up. Aside from that I'm partial to Herb V Karajan and have his version of Holst's Planets Suite on Decca, which is dope as hell in its original pressing midcentury album artwork. When I die I want Jupiter played at my funeral.
