I think we had a classical music thread in a previous ressers board. I don't get sitting though an opera where deciphering the lyrics is generally beyond me. I am not really a fan of Musicals either (though Willy Russell's excellent Blood Brothers would be an exception). That said, some of the arie from operas I find to be fantastic to listen to in their own right.
Classical music thread

Love a bit of Strauss

Good to see a classical music thread opening up .. I'm curious as to which pieces folks will post.
-
This is a nice tune. Coolio even sampled it.
-
I love Elgar. I don’t know if that is high brow or low brow from a classical music point of view . With maybe the exception of Pomp and Circumstance which is too synonymous with the creepy imperialism of our neighbours .

Nimrod is majestic!

Always loved this.
-
Might not be considered pure classical... but this simply genius work. Great film.
-
If it's Morricone, it's a classic as well as being classical. He will be revered in centuries to come in the same way the likes of Mozart and Beethoven and Vivaldi et al are these days.

😲 Eh no pressure Ennio !

You either like a piece of music or you don't Yoda .. the 'high brow' is just nonsense we should ignore (like we should ignore for example hurling snobs) As you like Elgar you might like another English composer from roughly the same era, Ralph Vaughan Williams and his Lark Ascending. https://youtu.be/ZR2JlDnT2l8

IMO... Ennio is up there with the greats. Genuis. On Earth as it is in Heaven makes me want to cry listening to it. And this is very difficult as I don't have tear ducts.
