Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone round here is interested in classical music (properly, that is, not just the odd famous piece here and there  ). There are obviously a lot of people on this site with lots of different tastes and I was just seeing if anyone has this in common with me!

I prefer mostly ones from mozart, bach, paganini, and haydn, though I guess I lean more on the romantic style. As far as classical music goes, I love it especially the dynamics and melody styles.

I always listened to classical cassettes when I was younger (and everyone made fun of me 'cause I didn't like nsync ) . My favorite composers are Mendelsshon and Chopin, and probably Handel too.

I love all types of music, including Classical. I'm especially fond of Renaissance and Baroque music. I think that my favorite composers from those periods are Bach, Marin Marais, and John Dowland.

I am high whenever I listen to classical and opera  . Music is my soul and I am a music maker. I love classical and opera a lot especially romanticism. I am doing two majors and one of them is vocal performance. I don't have a favorite composer because they are all excellent and you can always find something interesting and unique in each of them. For example, I like Reynaldo Hahn a lot for several reasons. First of all, most of his works have very beautiful lyrics, even though he did not compose the lyrics. Secondly, his repertoires requires a lot of artistic skills to perform effectively even though they seem easy. Listen to L'Heure exquise on youtube and you will see it. I also like Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Handel, Vivaldi, R.Vaughan Williams and Quilter. I will have a recital in May. I will probably perform some pieces from these composers such as Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal by Quilter, Die Forelle by Schubert, and one Papageno aria from the opera Die Zauberflote by Mozart.

I love classical music.
I'm quite eclectic.
I like Hildegard of BIngen to Richard Wagner.

Hildegard von Bingen? Someone's got some good music education  . Good for you.

The extent of my classical music repetoire that I listen to is probably just film music. I'm completely in love with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Listen to it all the time.
I do enjoy playing traditional (I suppose that's the word) classical music on the piano, particularly Romantic stuff (Chopin, Mendhellson etc), but I don't tend to listen to it that much.

I enjoy listening to early more Baroque-like Classical such as Mozart, if not just Baroque itself. I've also developed quite an affinity for listening to Romantic era composers lately. Eugene Butler being one of my favorites. His compositions generally flow with emotions.

there's a lot of good classical music and a lot of shitty classical music. I like mostly 1300 to bach and then the late romantic to modern.
Also it's cool playing Bach in reverse.

Tchaikovsky? Of course I was listening to his Nutcracker suite earlier today - I must have been in one of my fun music moods!
I'm pleased and surprised that there has been interest in this topic and that it's still on the first page!  I'm clearly just not used to having such conversation with the people I know.
How are people when it comes to concert going for classical music?
My first concert was unfortunately when I was 17. Nobody in my family is music. None of them is interested in classical music etc. etc. I'm the odd one with all the marvellously intellectual interests that get on their nerves Anyway, having that background, I never really got into the swing of concert going (and I don't have much money).
But, last August, I thought it was about time for a concert. So, I settled on a BBC Prom! I saw No. 38 - Brahms's Tragic Overture and 3rd Symphony as well as Sibelius's 5th Symphony.
Then, in February, I took my best friend to a concert of Strauss music and ballroom dancing.
Now, as the BBC Proms are going to be an annual event for my three closest friends and me, we shall be making an appearance in the gallery once more this August. Most likely to see Dvorak's 6th Symphony and Brahms's Violin Concerto I believe. Being the one most inclined towards listening to classical, I'm the lucky one who gets to pick which Prom we go to. Yay!

I know exactly how that is myself. =/
Other that listening to my school's symphonic band I don't ever have the opportunity to listen to any live music performed. I'm the only person in my family for an inclination toward anything musical.

Most classical music is like hearing an old man talk about World War 2. They never seem to get to the point, and beat around the bush, boring you to suicide before they talk about any action. That said, I feel the same way about a lot of jazz... It's just my approach. Hmm, the moonlight sonata, some of Mozart's more famous... A Chopin nocturne. It's got to have some melody for me, not a whole bunch of notes that the composer put in for 'texture'. Ugh 
You should always respect one's religious beliefs, however imaginary friends, delusional behaviour, a belief in a two thousand year old folk-lore should be treated by a professional.

Classical music!
I love music. Gunna study it at university...
Then again my favourite stuff is more Ligeti than Mozart,
but I still love some of the older stuff. Rachmaninov - beautiful modern romantic stuff.
Turina - Crazy spaniard,
Rawsthorne - Knows just what he's doing. All the time. Terrifies me.
Me.

I'm not BIG on classical music, but I deffinately respect the musicianship. One of my favourite albums of all time is a Psy-trance album made entirely from classical motifs. Its called Classical Mushroom by Infected Mushroom, if anyones interested.

i love classical music; im going to a conservatory in September to study it.
i prefer music from the romantic period onwards (exception being Beethoven). baroque/classical music just bores me. in music there has to be something in the work that i can connect with. a story, a scene, an emotion.
favourite composers: Liszt, Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff
and someone mentioned Ligeti; he's amazing 
i dont really go to concerts much; there has to be something big in the programme like the Liszt Sonata or a Rachmaninoff Concerto to get me there lol... incidentally there is a concert here over the summer involving the Liszt Sonata so i might go; i'd be on my own though because no one i know can stand Liszt x_x
