I love classical music as a whole. There is nothing else capable of producing the vibe you get from it. I dont think this is a confession though, country music would be a confession before classical music.
youre definitely not alone. i love classical music. theres nothing like a live orchestra. im a HUGE fan of ballets too
I saw the 'rites of spring' - stravinsky once - you could feel the bass through your feet - it rocked.Not only that but it's all about monsters and sun gods and all kinds of dazzling stuff. Carmina Burana too is about the meeting of gods and goddesses and sex and stars,creation and magic - these are are not just pretty little quartets - they are epic works of genius! (Led zep are cool too)
My dad is the classical music critic for the newspaper in Ottawa, so seeing Orchestras play is a pretty regular thing for me. I often forget it's a big deal for other people. I'm really lucky!
I love orchestras, too. Especially orchestras that imply electric guitars and a rock feel to their music (i.e.-Trans-Siberian). My absolute favorite thing in the entire world is classical music mixed with rock.
