The epic classical music thread


Latin. The language of perfection.
 
The greatest funeral march ever. Humble and epic at the same time.

Everybody knows the Ride of the Valkyries, but I think the prelude of the Valkyrie part of the Ring operas is more epic:


1:25+ is totally gorgeous!
 
The female voice: Diane Damrau, O zittre nicht (Oh don't tremble)


Starting at 3:49. 4:20+ is incredible and when she throws her arms into the air at 4:38 and the perfect notes at 4:48, amazing. What acting, what a voice! Gorgeous!

Auf ewig dein!

Ed Harris is BEETHOVEN. Ignore the chick.
 
Tannhäuser ouverture:


The first few minutes are gorgeous!

"Who's this, George Washington?" Sorry to say, but Beethoven is the greater celebrity. Music for the ages! Although I admire GW.

Edit: BTW, my mother told me that this was my father's (may he rest in piece) favourite piece of organ music which put it into a special place of my heart.

Time to check if Youtube shorts are working in here:



Edit: Yup.
 
A few hours ago, my most beloved mother has died, following my father into the grave.



Thanks, Beethoven and Chopin for having made me cry.

Forget about what I wrote about great conductors.



Apparently, children can do it.

Toddler hearing the Moonlight Sonata:


Nothing is greater than the passion of a child. Music, we are born with it. It warms my heart!

My favourite piece of "classical music" computer game music:


When winning with the Greek, Macedons or Egyptians, this music is my reward!

Brothers Lionheart, the movie, from the 70s.


Death. Grief. A topic for children as well. What a beautiful and grand melody!

I've rediscovered this piece perhaps 45 years after I heard it first as a child and I noticed again that it has found a special place in my heart.
 
I'm using this thread as a collection of classical music worth hearing, so why not?

Next thread: My current shopping list. I'm running short on risotto rice...
 
I've had an unusually busy year IRL so I suck at giving feedback (or just posting in general) but I do listen to what you're sharing, Krischy. I love classical music.
