I'm a fan of some heavier things as well. Opeth is an supremely talented group o' musicians. The only rock concert I've ever been to is Megadeth.

A Concerto for Group and Orchestra - Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic.

Gotta be one of the best mixes of classical and rock ever done, bar none.

That was the one that made me realize that the members of Deep Purple were actual musicians and not just a three chord rock band.

The band members wrote the concerto.

I propose you go forth and listen to Beethoven's ninth, before someone seconds my motion.

"... and the theater where his lady love performed was the theater I was once in charge of when I was in college."

Wow, I love the music to Somewhere In Time.

Amen! I'm also a devotee of DT (see my post 327). Victoria's real.

The Bach mass in B Minor? The St Matthew's Passion? The best of the Mozart Piano Concerti?

I am a fan of Brian's Third symphony (probably his most "normal" work) and his Fourth. I have not yet heard his others. I wish that the infernal BBC could locate "Prometheus Unbound."

Everytime I try to play Steely Dan I get the impression that nobody appreciates it.

I'd have to go with the Brandenburg Concertos by J. S. Bach,

"Ahhhh Bach!

(I'm partial to the fugue)

Ah - another Mahler 8th fan. I have Georg Solti's rendition on both a 30 year old 4-LP set and CD. The LP sounds better, IMHO, especially on my rig.

Yes, Penderecki is a great talent. I actually really like his symphonies, especially the First, the Third, and the Seven Gates of Jerusalem. Once he dropped his experimental radicalism, he turned out to be a neo-Romantic of genius. He has kept his sonorous soundscapes but produced actual music that you can "sit down and listen to."

"Then you compounded the tragedy by listing that piece of dripping schlock 'Proud to be an American.'"

I have to protest that statement, I think that is a great song. "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free..."

Mozart's Requiem, Handel's Messiah, The 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, Sinatra, Miles Davis, John Williams

That's a great list, great music all. I love Tchaikovsky, the Nutcracker is absolutely brilliant, in addition to the 1812 Overture.
