So, sometimes it seems like you just have to make a thread on something because you can't take your mind off of it...
Classical music today is a dying art. Ask most people who Wagner is, or Shostakovitch, or even Handel, and chances are you'll get blank stares, or the occasional "wasn't he some old music guy?". We are losing a piece of our cultural heritage, and something has to be done. So, I've decided to make a thread dedicated to the celebration and preservation of classical music. Any classical styled music, from Bach to Gershwin, Mahler to Beethoven, even modern composers like Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer are welcome on this thread. I ask all of you to try and keep the music alive, and try to get your friends and family into it. Maybe go to the Symphony once in a while. See an opera. Or just download some music and play in your home, it doesn't matter. Kust post your favorite classical pieces and discuss. Let's start with some Wagner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4At9fe2De4Y
