After seeing "Amadeus" as a kid I started listening to "classical" music. Beethovens "9th Symphony" is like Nirvana's "Nevermind", most everybody has heard of it. But recently I discovered that there's nothing better than a little Chopin or Vivaldi while driving the car around.
The last 20 mins of Requiem For A Dream are so hard to watch.
You are a very dark girl aren't you? Do you wear black on the outside because black is how you feel on the inside? :)
A little Ode to Joy, nice. :) Please tell me you've seen Immortal Beloved?
It's kind of serendipitous you post this, because I've been thinking about posting some classical stuff while the peeps are out ... there's a lot of good out there.
As for Chopin, I love this one, brings back a lot of memories for me. Nice for the evening hours (as the name would indicate) which are upon us soon (or already, for you). Cheers David!
hmmm, there appears to be a bug in the first part of that track ... wait until about 25 seconds in and it'll start into the one I wanted (about 3:30) long.

Your not on strike like everybody else?

It's a cliche, but these two compositions are amongst my favourite ones:
So much agony and desperation in the first one, and such unspeakable sorrow in the second one...
Nope, I'm not on strike.

goodmusiconly, that Chopin is nummy.
Bernstein does a pretty good job with that monumental work. Great post, dachmo.
Here's Pete Seeger playing the Chorale from it. It's from his 1955 album Goofing Off Suite.
