Listened to a fair bit of it whilst at work today, I was the only one in the building so no machines running, I think it's the first time I've really appreciated that genre, anyone else like a bit of Bach and co?

East Sussex

yes. I have radio 3 on in the car and quite a collection of classical music.

I recommend the breakfast show on Radio three

Brighton - even Hove!

I like Mozart - I can tune out each instrument and listen to individual ones playing the tune. It's all incredibly harmonic.

Debussy is my go to composer when I can't sleep at night. I like a lot of classical music especially string symphonies and piano concertos.

I love choral music especially. Tallis and Palestrina move me.

I get blasted with G&S at home as daughter is a budding opera singer.

Bach is my top man, St Matthew Passion is one of the best pieces ever written.

Listen to The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, beautiful piece.

Although I suspect it might be more Baroque than Classical.

The opera La Wally by Alfredo Catalani

Interestingly, it is rarely performed due to the difficulty in staging the heroine death scene - she dies by throwing herself in to an avalanche

Not a fan of opera myself, very confusing, when a person is stabbed instead of bleeding they sing

I can't stand the usual love their own voice morning DJ's, so if the iPods not on then R3 or classic fm is- do like a nice Rachmaninov piano piece or blasting adagio for strings while stuck in the ubiquitous motorway jam.

I also caught an hour of max richters 8hr epic 'sleep' on R3- probably more electronic/ambient than classical, but there are many crossovers and obvious classical influences in it

.

Is there anyone else except Puccini ...

I find opera quite beautiful and I learnt long ago never to translate it into English, it's never as good as you imagined it

Chopin for me

Oh I love this site, one moment everyone is incensed on the forums over immigrants and the sun sensationalism and others we are discussing opera and classical composers...

Started piano lessons at 7 so sort of grew up with classical music and I find it as absorbing now as when I was a child.
