Classical music

I was fortunate to grow up to hear classical music being played regularly on the radiogram by older brother and sister. It permeated into my head and the older I get the more I appreciate it.

9 out of 10 times modern stuff can get in the bin. Give me a good melody anytime.

A recent discovery has been the pleasure you can get by hearing the same familiar piece played by different orchestras or conductors.
 
I'll say it again, great thread Mr @dholliday

Don’t encourage him, next it will be which underground German prog metal/house crossover was most influential from 1993-1996.

In no particular order, my favourite composers are.

Stravinsky, Malcolm Arnold, Mozart, Copeland, and Delius.
 

The films of Stanley Kubrick had such amazing connections between image and sound that every time I hear one of the pieces he put in a film, such as that one, it immediately brings me back to the film.

Another one he used that is simply beautiful is this from 2001. Seems to perfectly reflect the cold harsh isolation of space travel.

 

Do you drink fine wine wear a crevat sport a blue rinse and use a pencil as a baton ? turning volume up full with your nicotine stained arthritic fingers when your tied up victim in the basement makes noises causing the dog to bark
just joking it is a acquired taste some of it sounds good on a guitar
 
Written during the Norwegian occupation by the Nazis in 1943. There's two versions, both equally good, but the first, my favourite, is more visceral.
