Classical music!

[COMECON]

So that's it.
Do you like classical music? If so, which are your favorite composers/interprets?

I really love Chopin, I play it since I started playing piano again. Here you have a nice recopilatory of 2 hours with his best pieces. My favourite interpret, without any doubt, is Valentina Lisitsa. He has also a YouTube channel. Plus, she's beautiful!

Oh, Valentina, I'd like to be like you. You play and look like angels!

I also like Tchaikovsky. Here you have another recopilatory of him
What about you?

I love classical music.

My favourite composers are many - that's the beauty of it, there's so much variety. Not all of my favourites are stritly classical but here's a list of great composers from the past and present.

J S Bach
W A Mozart
L van Beethoven
Thomas Tallis
William Byrd
G F Handel
Arvo Part
Steve Reich
Igor Stravinsky
R Vaughan Williams
John Adams

There are so many more, but that's a few to start with.

Yup, I'm a big fan. Although bizarrely, rock music also does it for me.

Favourite composers would probably include Beethoven (love his piano works), Liszt, and Chopin.

I used to play classical piano, but exams and a lack of time ended up in me giving up. I intend to get back in to it, probably once I've gone through university.

I'm a classical (as well as other types) music fan. With a few exceptions I mostly prefer 19th century and earlier composers.

Still one of my favs.

[Statia]

Erik Sadie, Mikhail Glinka, Pyotr Tchiakovsky.

That would be Satie and Tchaikovsky.


For me the Richards: Strauss and Wagner.

That would be Satie and Tchaikovsky.

<nostalgia>
I remember seeing a live performance of The Great Waltz in the Drury Lane Theatre back in 1971, during a family visit to London.

The musical tastes in the Lisati household are wide and varied, with a bit of "classical" music thrown in for good measure every now and again, but operatic works are low on the list of things to listen to. I don't mind listening to the occasional piano concerto: on a delayed broadcast of a concert I attended that included Beethoven's "Emporer" concerto (#5) many years ago, long before I met Mrs Lisati, I'm sure I heard myself coughing.
