Listened to a fair bit of it whilst at work today, I was the only one in the building so no machines running, I think it's the first time I've really appreciated that genre, anyone else like a bit of Bach and co? |

"I love choral music especially. Tallis and Palestrina move me.
I get blasted with G&S at home as daughter is a budding opera singer. "
Ah Gilbert and Sullivan, haven't listened in years, I must now do so  |

Bach is my top man, St Matthew Passion is one of the best pieces ever written.
Listen to The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, beautiful piece.

Love this-aria from diva"
The opera La Wally by Alfredo Catalani
Interestingly, it is rarely performed due to the difficulty in staging the heroine death scene - she dies by throwing herself in to an avalanche  |

I can't stand the usual love their own voice morning DJ's, so if the iPods not on then R3 or classic fm is- do like a nice Rachmaninov piano piece or blasting adagio for strings while stuck in the ubiquitous motorway jam.
I also caught an hour of max richters 8hr epic 'sleep' on R3- probably more electronic/ambient than classical, but there are many crossovers and obvious classical influences in it |

"If you like opera Puccini is my favourite "
.
Is there anyone else except Puccini ...
I find opera quite beautiful and I learnt long ago never to translate it into English, it's never as good as you imagined it  |

"Chopin for me
Oh I love this site, one moment everyone is incensed on the forums over immigrants and the sun sensationalism and others we are discussing opera and classical composers...
