I am by no means a snob when it comes to it. I probably couldn't name more than half a dozen operas, symphonies or such if pushed, but what I do like I adore. Most people will know and like more than they realise due to how much this stuff permeates culture.
This is probably my favourite bit of classical music of all time performed by two outstanding artists.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
I do like a bit of Puccini. I have the Essential Pavarotti album on my iPhone, this is one of my favourites.
Another Pavarotti belter.

The Planets by Gustav Holst , Vivaldis Four Seasons mainly for violin excellence playing .
Chuck in a bit of Bach and Beethoven , not their highbrow stuff for the real experts in that field , not me in that bracket .
Driving trips I skim through the radio stations , Classic FM put on some bangers though . Far too much forced listening to drivel on Radio 1 there .
Pictures at an Exhibition Mussorsky was the head turner in my school music lessons .
Love the Planet Suite.

Enjoyed a preformance of the Planet Suite a couple of years back at St David's Hall. I think part of the reason was Jupiter bringing memories of MMEB Joybringer single of the early 70s and their albums Solar Fire and Masque both using parts of of the Planet Suite. Enjoyed Sky's take on some of the classic, have always liked a bit of classical tunes used by Rock bands.
One very early morning shift driving to work Mal Pope was on Radio Wales .
He played Toccata , performed by SKY on his show , wow , what was that sound .
Got home later that day and dived into You Tube , that track is still online and I still go back and revisit it .
Bought Sky's second album Sky2 after hearing Toccata on the radio, a double album with lots of nice tracks.
Julian Lloyd Webbers Variations of Paganini's work used as the theme music on The Southbank Show, an album of enjoyable fusion of classical and Rock music.
