Since MOTS is going to be a classical recording,what are your impressions about classical musical in general? Do you like it?
Favorite composers?

I love classical music. My favs are, in no particular order: Chopin, Tchaikowsky (sp.?), Mozart, Beethoven and the 'festive music' of the Strauss brothers.

But I like a little bit of everything in that field. I don't know whether Karl Jenkins/Adiemus may be defined classical or not, but I love his music as well.

Edward Elgar used to live fairly close to me!! Quite a few years ago Thankfully

So All his big Hits I like.. Mozart Beethoven , Bach, I can listen to.. But mostly I like it when classical is intelligently incorporated into Rock music as thats where my interests really reside...Mind u at the end of the Day you like the sound of the Music or you dont no matter what Format.. Could be technically Brilliant but if u dont like the Tune or Riff u dont play the CD again no matter who composed the thing.. Hopefully MO has got a Good Riff or two incorporated into the new Album "Hopefully" !! :cool:

Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Wagner, Shubert, some of Beethoven, Bach...and there're some more I've forgotten their names. I like big orchestrations with impressive yet exciting compositions and, why not, with a russian touch into it. There are many movie scores that has knocked me out. If it gets too sensitive with only a few classical instruments for a longer period of time I will get bored no matter how genious it is allthough that doesn't mean I don't like dynamics in classic music.
Opera though is simply not for me. :cool:

I mostly like compositions from the late 19th / early 20th century onwards, up to the present. For some reason, I have considerable difficulties getting into most of the earlier stuff. Mozart doesn't do it for me at all, Beethoven and Bach a bit more but still not that much, and even most of the romantic era tends to leave me a bit cold.

Listing all my favourites would go a bit beyond the scope of this thread, but let's not forget one great and sadly overlooked composer: David Bedford! I honestly think he's marvellous and deserves more recognition than he's getting.
