Anybody Like Classical Music?

[oil&gas]

Very close to being the best but that may not last long. I suspect Hilary Hahn is going to want a kid soon.

Never heard or read much about her private live. But then celebrities
in classical music are seldom talked about like those in showbiz. If she
is getting married one day I won't be surprised if it will go unnoticed.
I do remember Cecilia Bartoli's marriage was reported by the media.

Cecilia Bartoli is a Roman. In Rome she could walk into the middle of traffic, all the cars would stop and everyone within would get out and genuflect as she passed by.

Hilary Hahn is not in the same stratosphere but I believe that she'll probably have a kid by the end of 2015. Anne Sophie Mutter already had two by the time she reached 35.

Glenn Gould, the man who put Toronto on the map.

Listening to this piece of music in late night is a heavenly experience.

Performed by members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and
the mendelssohn choir.

To me one of the most sublime piece of music to listen to
late at night. Jacqueline Du Pre accompanied by the Israel
Philharmonic conducted by her husband Daniel Barenboim.

Who doesn't like Classical Music?!
Trained my kids from when they were babies. Sometimes they'll be watching one of shows when one or the other grabs the remote, changes the channel to the classical music station, saying "Daddy, I want to listen to classical music for awhile."
They're 6 yrs old!

Heck! Even Yngwie J. Malmsteen loves classical music!

There is no need of formal training to introduce kids into the
world of classical music. Exposure to good music at a young
age is the key. Music from classical music station could be
tought for babies though. I will begin with playing this work
to a crawling baby. By the time he is in his early teens he
will be able to appreciate Stravinsky and Shostakovich.

Had the SO listen to nothing but classical and jazz (actually the only music she does like) when they were in the womb, played them when they were babies...just hanging out on the floor, in their cribs, driving in the car..etc..introduced them to Baby Einstein...
I'm a lover of all types of music, except for n.american pop music, so am introducing them to classical rock. At 6, they know all the words to the Queen library, The Police, for now.....they are also quite knowledgeable about Andre Boccelli, Sade, Amy Winehouse (freakin love her!), and Jeff Buckley.
Will be introducing Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Van Halen (Roth era) next, Marvin Gaye, Ottis Redding next...

I thought it was important that they get exposure to the good stuff before they got to school, where they'd be bombarded with today's crap. They can like today's stuff if they want BUT still appreciate GOOD music.

this is the melody of my soul

Feeling that melody lazy like a whisper in the dark down my spine and into my soul deep withing beating like my heart did once upon a time to the angle eyes starring down on upon me to my wonder in a moment frozen in time forever in tears of wind of time.

What a song...so many genres with classical at the heart...truly beautiful and eternal piece!

Verdi and Sibelius were ardent nationalists revered by the nations they helped to create. Verdi was at the forefront of a lobby group that wanted the Pope expelled to Jerusalem.

The unofficial Italian National Anthem:

The red lies, the red thoughts, the red dreams, the red love, , the red lights, the red life...it's in the red....

Another great version...
