Welcome aboard MD, Marinaa ! Are you a classical music buff ? What other music do you like ?

I listened to Bach's Goldberg Variations by the great Canadian pianist Glenn Gould !!!! ...fascinating music...so many notes...and played at such a rapid pace at times....true genius by the composer and the artist.




I try to listen to all kinds of music as I find something exciting in every genre! Marinaa, tell me something....is there a considerable amount of improvisation in classical music? or is it note for note as originally composed?...just a question that always intrigued me...I've heard someone mention improvisation in classical music ?????

Two fabulous operas by the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka.

A Life for the Tsar (1836) and Ruslan and Lyudmila (1842).

Whenever I listen to opera I am truly astounded by the magnificent singing and the musical composition overall !!!!!!

"We Come Running" by Youngblood Hawke, and the new Muse song, "Madness" - two legit songs

This isn't Classical music...wrong Forum !!!!

[Muso]

I dunno whether Brad Prevedorous can be considered as one of them, but I like his songs like "Firedance"

Lots of Mozart songs.

I've been listening to a lot of Requiem by Mozart, I would not consider myself a classical music huff by any scheme, but that does not stop me from enjoying it often. I used to be heavilly involved in learning music theory, I have a soft spot for concertos and grouped pieces of music, for some reason Requiem always catches my ear.
