let's get CLASSICAL

[Jorge]

Kinda cool. I kept hoping they'd play something else instead of just running up and down the neck of their instruments, but I guess that was the point

Can't say I really enjoy that one. It is different for sure... This one is great though, especially the third part starting from ~10:40:

One of the greatest sounds in the entire world is that of an orchestra tuning.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Big Bach and Handel fan here. And anything that is harpsichord heavy.

A breakdown of classical music's primary U.S. constituencies in the year 2015:

0.1%: high-grade performers skilled enough to earn a self-sustaining income by performing live and/or selling recordings

1.9%: aristocratic patrons, intellectuals, historians, and scholarly types that comprise the stereotype envisioned by the masses as representative of the social side of classical music

50%: near-death senior citizens who spend their concerts asleep or coughing

8%: 18-40 year-old ugly, dandruff-eating day-walkers who have no hobbies or interests other than classical music, and sadly, are not good enough at playing it to perform for a living, but are struggling to accept that reality.

10%: 40-60 year-old smelly, ugly, dandruff-eating day-walkers who have few hobbies or interests other than classical music, reluctantly accept that they are not good enough to perform for a living, and cope with it by poisoning all social situations with their terrible opinions.

30%: Asians

I don't know much about classical music (I wish I did, but studying it seems very daunting), but I love me some Brahms and Debussy.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Seriously, that piece Jorge posted is beautiful.

It is also the basis for many annoying pop songs

Wagner. That's what I see you getting into. Opera.

Yeah, I actually am a bit fascinated by the concept of opera. I downloaded some a while back but have yet to really dive in.

In honor of the Hannibal finale

Ladies and Gentlemen, MOZART!

[LoathedVermin72]

Bizet's "Carmen No. 2" is one of my favorite things in the world.

[LoathedVermin72]

I'm listening to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, and it's like, "Ohhh, so that's where John Williams got all his ideas for Star Wars."
