Okay..so there may not be many, but are there any classical music buffs out there?

I love classical music, and I'm a dancer so I was introduced to classical at a very young age.

I have so many favourites - Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Andre Rieu, Debussy, Brahms, Mozart, Strauss... the list goes on and on.

The most played song on my Ipod is Romance, by Prokofiev from Lieutenint Kije. I also LOVE Andre Rieu - he is so good! (listening to Pour un Flirt atm!)

So are there any other classical lovers out there? Who are your favourites?

I'm not really a classical music buff or anything, but I like it. Chopin is my favourite.

I love vlassical music! I played the violin for 13 years! These are just a few of my favorites.

Grieg Piano Concerto
Praeludium and Allegro by Fritz Kriesler
Concerto No. 1 Frist Movement by Bruch (AMAZING!)
Hoedown by Aaron Copland
Don Quixote Overture by Telemann

I'm picky about my classical music! Smile

But there are a lot of composers that I love. Bach...he is my homeboy.

I'm a music major, so I'd like to think that I enjoy classical music to a degree..... Wink

lol. My favorite genres of classical music are French Impressionism, Baroque, and Russian. I'm a pianist so I'm partial to piano pieces, but I'm a sucker for a good symphony. I hyperlinked all the composer's names to my favorite particular pieces. Hopefully someone might gain a new love from this post lol.

Favorite orchestral composer hands-down is Ravel. Debussy is a close second, especially with L'Apres-midi d'un Faune. That piece makes me melt. I also love Poulenc, Beethoven, and Shostakovich. Tcaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 is amazing.

Composers for piano... My favorite to play is Bach. He's so intelligent and sophisticated. My favorite to hear is Rachmaninoff. I'm working on his Prelude in b-flat major Op. 23, No. 2. Most of his pieces are so hard to play, but in the end, they're so worth the trouble of learning.

I bought the 100 Beautiful Melodies CD the other week, and it has my most favourite piece in the world on it - O Mio Babbino Caro - and it made me cry!

Yes it is so beautiful!

The first time I heard it was in the movie I Capture the Castle, and I went out and bought a CD just cos it had that on it!

Such a coincidence that Edward Cullen likes Debussy....

Classical music is great, I really love it. It's all I listened to at night for years when I was smaller. I'm not really well educated in it, but it's what I still put on the shower radio every day. :]
