Are a lover of classical music? We listen to it a lot--but along with rock, jazz, and lots of other genres.

We often listen to classical guitar, piano, symphonic and some opera selections (not often an entire opera).

Are you a fan? Do you have favorites you would like to share?  I just thought this might be a fun topic.

Tchaikovsky...and Rod Stewart

Yes. I like Rhapody in Blue and Bolero.

I am a huge fan of Vivaldi's Four Seasons...all of it.

I can' t listen to it in my car, though.  It makes me drive too fast.  I get so lost in the music.

My son plays classical guitar...like that too.

My favorites are Chopin piano etudes.

I like all music, but what I find amazing is my country boy husband really likes classical music he says it just makes him feel so relaxed. He will listen to it with his headphones when cutting grass....you would have to know my husband to know why it amazes me....but I love it and him.  His friends get a big kick out of it too.

Yes!  I'm a fan of classical.  I played classical guitar for decades, starting when I was 11ish.  My favorite is Spanish classical.  But like you, I enjoy most all genres except acid rock and bluegrass.  Two of my favorite operas are Phantom of the Opera (I've seen it twice) and Les Miz (I've seen it 3x).  Saw Phantom in Dallas and Las Vegas and Les Miz in NY and Dallas.  Saw Cats in London.

Ohhh, I  haven't heard Bolero in years.  Going to play it right now.

My daughter received a full scholarship at UT Tyler for piano.  She went one semester and quit   Had a double major in education and math.  She's never worked outside the home.  I'm glad she has that to fall back on if necessary but so thankful she chose to stay home and raise her babies.
