Do any of you like this?

I havent given it much thought before, however I was listening to Beethovens moonlight sonata earlier and I like it.

We are both musicians with music degrees. We love classical music. I am very evangelistic about it. I run music appreciation classes in which I talk about what's actually going on in the music. It's not just pretty tunes. There a whole world to discover in great pieces.

If you are interested to know more then PM me.

Yes I like it. I love some of the choral works too.

Listen to Zadoc the Priest, you'll recognise it but it really is a stirring piece of music

Using the term classical music in its broader meaning there is a truckload of music out there. To be honest there is nothing wrong with starting with the more melodic pieces. But listening to melodic pieces alone can put them out of context and is the aural equivalent of the highlights of a sports match and you can miss the complexity of a game or the longer piece. But melodic music can be enjoyed for what it is. So from piano pieces, to symphonic pieces, to avant garde to Opera dip your toe.

Amazon has a 1001 cds of easy listening classics as does Naxos.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Mozart’s Requiem and The Great Mass.

Also, Bruckner’s Te Deum - a gloriously puissant piece

It's fun to perform it and a choir offers the simplest way in to experience the full monty.

I do, particularly piano music. Although I am partial to strings now and then.

More often though I like more modern composers such as Lubomyer Melnyk, Ludivico Einaudi and Olafur Arnalds. Also Keith Kenniff from Mint Julep and Pale Fires, who produces classical piano stuff under the name Goldmund
