Poll: Do you listen to classical music?

[KefkaCultist]

ACDC! (what... its classic rock)

actually I listen to some music in a classical style but not really old stuff.
like I listen Requiem for a Dream but no Mozart or Bach or anything

 

[Stalk3rchief]

I dont really listen to classical music, but theres theres a fair few peices i enjoy.

But the people that constantly bash rap/hip hop are just fools, yea the stuff on tv and the radio is pure shite, but so is most of the music played on the tv or radio regardless of genre.

Theres lots of good "underground" stuff, far removed from the rubbish on tv.

But then ignore what i've typed, becasue i'm obviously a retard as you've put it.

It's music like

Spoiler: this

that gives rap a bad name. I admit there are a few shining jewels to the genre, but when the majority is made up of pure ignorance trying to blend itself into music, usually only bought by other ignorant people, it's just hard to take it seriously.
Not trying to flame or anything, just making a point.

I like to listen to classical music. I also play the piano so I play among other things, classical music. I also sing classical music, both in choir and solo. I'm actually going to record a few songs on CD with, amongst others, a couple of Mozart arias.

 

[Dark Knifer]

Some of it is pretty good. But if these count then I listen to classical all the time.

Spoiler: They might not count though but whatever.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

No... Unless you consider Slayer, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc. classical in terms of metal...

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Well i really really enjoy baroque music. The original and modern adaptions and modifications of it.

Spoiler: like that one

Real Modern Classical music isnt my cup of tea. Like with old books, even reprints, i love the heavy feeling of age an importance the old pieces are radiating.

 

[RatRace123]

I'm into classical, though my real musical passion is orchestra and instrumentals, old or new, music without lyrics is awesome!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Well Escapist's.
I'm a big fan of classical music but of course I listen to all sorts of it, except for rap and hip hop which stands for retards attempting poetry.
(No offese towards well, retarded people)
Well I listen mostly to Beethoven,Haydn,Chopin,Mozart and Schubert.
How about you escapist's?

That's a bit harsh towards rap. I myself enjoy some Eminem every now and then.

OT: Sometimes, if I'm in the mood. Mostly I listen to metal, but classical is never wrong.

I listen to classical violin and the like when it's performed by Emilie Autumn.
I'm not opposed to other kinds of classical, but I prefer violin solos.
Anything with a violin or harpsichord.

Yes, Emilie Autumn is quite awesome indeed.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I'm a Chopin man myself. Damn you Eternal Sonata. I many of the other composers as well, just not as much as Chopin.

And me. Chopin, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven. I acknowledge that Mozart was a musical genius, but I dislike his work. =/

How can people not like Chopin, when he wrote things like this?

 

[Fetzenfisch]

I really love violins and especially the harpsichord, so sad that instrument isnt really used anymore.

 

[19]

Not really, but I've almost always liked what I happen to overhear when i walk by a place that's playing it.

 

[Lyx]

Listening to classical music to me mostly is a mood thing. I know that there are very.... emotionally intense compositions - yet, when i'm in the mood for classical music, then i usually instead want something that provides a background atmosphere. So, even though i do listen to classical music, my taste is rather narrow in it.

I've listened to classical music since I can remember. Yet Hip Hop is and will always be my true love and passion when it comes to music.

It makes me laugh when kiddos hate things they know nothing about. Have a nice time growing up.

 

[x0ny]

Lol, nope, though I do have one song which is not played with electric guitars and drums. Antonio Vivaldi's La Primavera.

 

[DSK-]

I don't mind it, but I need to be in the right mood for it.

This for me, is timeless. The orchestral version is equally as good.

 

[NoDamnNames]

Does Apocaliptica count?

 

[Frotality]

bach, tchaikovsky, mahler and greig every morning on the drive to school. probably my favorite genre in fact.

 

[GLo Jones]

Oh my Escapists, no mention of Ludovico Einaudi? He's a modern day genius!

Get this down you, quickly!

Spoiler: I implore everyone to give this a listen through (but don't watch the video. I think it spoils it.

 

[Toriver]

I don't listen to it every day, but a few times a month when I'm relaxing I may wander over to a classical internet radio station for an hour or two, or play some of the classical on my computer. Mostly Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. I can listen to pretty much anything but rap/hip-hop too.

 

[arrapippol]

Classical music is my life... I listen to it, I play it on the piano, and in the orchestra.. my favourite composer would have to be Beethoven (symphony 5, 9, and the appassionata, just to name a few of my favourites...) I also enjoy Chopin, Rachmaninoff, i love to hate Mozart (not because of Mozart himself, but because everyone assumes he's the best, when he's not...)
