The Fish 10963 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've never really listened to modern classical music, I think someone played a track on the way back from Nottingham late one night and it was incredibly repetitive and dull, quite frankly. Whenever I hear the "classic" classical tunes it stirs notions of grandeur and depth, the track I heard was akin to listening to an experimental electronic 4 piece who took themselves oh so seriously.

Guest alex Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Wim Mertens. Kronos Quartet. Gavin Bryars. Kronos Quartet playing Thelonious Monk. Not a big fan of Mertens, never heard of Bryars tbh. Apart of my strange affection for Monk's modern Jazz I am not a big fan of modern (classical) music anyway but rather like my Baroque and Romantic period or traditional jazz. I'm partial to a bit of 'Thelonious Monk' myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brodsky Quartet do some good stuff and if you ever want to be turned on by a celloist, Maya Beiser has these gorgeous long legs and as she sits down to play the cello, well, you get the picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured as much just after I finished typing out my reply but then I was thinking about Maya Beiser and all was lost Alex! I hate to see what a herbie is!

David Kelly 1260 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 The soundtrack to Amadeus would be an obvious place to start I would think. I can't say that I listen to any classical stuff but I when I watched that I found the music amazing. Think I'll try an download some actually.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm partial to a bit of Rossini and Wagner. I'm not too keen when there's singing though. Opera's not my cup of tea at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
