Lately I've been listening to nothing but Corelli.
For Master and Commander fans, this will sound familiar.
Full Version: Music: That doesn't suck
Actually, 1/2 is cooler. The double stops at teh awesome.
This is probably one of my favorites, though the one I have on my iPod is of Yo-Yo Ma. Suite for Solo Cello No. 1--Bach
And this one, I absolutely love it. Moonlight Sonata
ETA: I may go through, one by one, and try to find a sample of each of the pieces I have on my classical playlist. Hero, you may have to remind me

So do you favor traditional instruments and tuning or Concert 440?

You seem to be remembering just fine on your own.

I'm fine with 440 as a listener. Back when I was singing, pre-440 music felt better to sing (if that makes sense to non-singers) a halfstep down.
How's this for the classics?

I'd like you to note how I started my own thread, and didn't cross contaminate any of yours.

Yeah, me either. But don't get me wrong. I have fond memories of waking up to AC/DC or Def Leppard on Saturday mornings when I was younger. Also, my parents have always had me listening to the music they grew up on. Which I think is great because so many people my age have no idea who these people are.

For the record, I hate the Rolling Stones, and definitely put them in the "suck" category.

I always stayed awake singing it. And Mr. Hero assures me he stayed awake playing it on the violin.
Speaking of which, an old favorite of everyone, except Wolfe apparently:

You just confirmed everyone's suspicion that your marriage is boring.

I can safely state that I am jealous of no people in or around Canton, Ohio.
San Diego? Maybe. The women there are the best.

Angelus,
I'm almost done listening to all the stuff you posted today. (Stupid no audio or video at work.) Classical music is such a crap shoot on YouTube. Like the Beethoven 5 is a solid recording, but I'm seriously wondering where some of those Bach organist were dug up.

I know it's ironic, but Bach sounds waaaaaaay better on piano than he does on organ.
These dudes, however, did sound great with an organ:

As Craig Ferguson might say, it's such a farty instrument.
Wacky memory from grad school.
There were some folks I hung out with, and they asked me to bring some of my classical music CDs to a party. I never thought the big hit of the night was going to be Rachmaninov Vespers, but about 5 people ended up burning my CD that week.
Anyhow, some thoughtful soul at YouTube has a great recording altogether on one playlist
Sample:
Hail Mary (I've sung this one a couple times over the years, sadly always in Latin, not Russian
)
