Hey guys, just curious if any of you is into classical music, maybe even playing an instrument.
I've been making myself familiar with classical music in the past years and collected quite a CD collection (yes, I know, I could just online stream the music, but I'm a collector ... also, CDs offer better sound quality). When doing this, I was guided by a pretty nice book, "Classical Music" by Phil G. Goulding. It offers a really great introduction to this genre.
These days, I'm watching classical operas on DVD/BD. So far, I can say I find Wagner needs a good editor and is a bit heavy, while the melodramatic Italian operas are more to my taste.
How about you?
