| Classical Music Catalog: A Collection of Your Favorites (Posted on 3/28/12 at 9:51 pm)
What's some of the best classical music you've ever heard?
Classical music takes me to a time and place or storyline and just helps me visualize amazing things. It is my drug. Here's what I think can't be topped:
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
Heaven and Hell - Vangelis
Rhapsody in Blue - Gershwin
Each of these makes me visualize amazing little movie scenes. These scenes are so vivid they are almost like music videos. This gave me the idea of actually having Classical Music Videos (music videos set to classical music). I made a thread about it on the M/TV Board:

What are some of your favorite pieces of classical music?

Danse Macabre--Camille Saint-Saens
Bolero--Maurice Ravel I can never not think of Bo Derek's perfect titties bouncing while she runs on the beach when I hear this tune.
Emma Kirkby (Soprano) sings "Alleluia" of Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate

Both great choices. I played both of those in HS marching band.
Holst's whole "The Planets" work is awesome.
Another I like:

Classical music is amazing. Good posts!
OK, now for a little something off of normal but entirely wonderful:
The Healing - Lady in the Water soundtrack - J Newton-Howard
The Great Eatlon - Lady in the Water soundtrack - J Newton-Howard
(need to be listened to together)
This is one of those soundtracks that just blow you away.
