I absolutely love classical music. Schubert, Stravinsky, Sibelius, Chopin, Rachmaninoff - I like so many. I also find myself drawn to some modern-day musicians with a talent for composing and deep love for classical music. Yoshiki Hayashi is a big-time favourite of mine. I think he brilliantly fuses classical with rock music.

Sure. Some of the best stuff he has done is with the band X Japan. One of my all-time favourite songs is X Japan's "Art of Life." It's a mix of everything I love about classical and postmodern rock 'n' roll. I suggest looking him up on YouTube. Not only does he have an immense auditory impact, but watching him play drums and piano is, in a weird way, visually stunning.

I'm not sure about the others but I still love classical music. Vivaldi and Bach are my most listened to, and sometimes Beethoven and Mozart too.

Hello there, Classical music,i like to listen to it sometimes,but most of the time i like to listen to lovesongs when i am doing mylot,or instrumental,like unplugged ones or piano. I had collections of musics from love songs,ballads,instrumental(piano,guitar and harp)country mellow touch,slow rock (scorpions,eagles,bon jovi) From 50's,the songs of SINATRA,ELVIS,THE BEATLES,the lists goes on. I just love music,i appreciated good songs,i even had some collections of RAHMAN songs even before the JAIHO hits the charts,i already collected some of his songs..and i love most "EN SWASA KATRE"

Hello philip_shiny this is checkmail and like to listen to classical music always, but not possible.I hear it when there are real instruments playing around, live performance or concerts.There are many great performers that plays the instruments so well that it just makes you to stop thinking.The classical music touches my heart very gently and gets over me like some magic.If later though though about my reaction to classical music, i may think i was gone mad.

oh yes i still do listen to classical musics. Different musics are mend for different environment/purpose, for me, i listen to different types of music that either suit my current feeling or environment. Classical musics are so smoothing, i believe they have the power to clam people down or make us relax, so i normally listen to them when i am revising for exams or when i am stress.

Hi Philip! I love Classical music even though I am more into rock~ Edvard Hagerup Grieg's Morning mood. Frederick Chopin's Etude Op.10 no.3 "Tristesse". Salut D'Amour ( Love Greeting )" by "Elgar. Canon in D Major by Pachelbel. Lizst's La Campanella. There's a lot to mention. Like what I've said I am more into rock. But those we're beautiful and it change my mood. And I like Yoshiki Hayashi too. He's good in combining rock and classical. Though no doubt about it. That guy is a genius.

I love classical. Its so soothing. I love mozart more then the rest. My fiance loves Bach. He actually went and bought some cd's this past weekend. He got one bethoven, one bach, and three mozart. HE said they only had one bach so he was disappointed.
