        I too love classical music. I sing in a large symphonic choir and it's the most amazing feeling in the world being part of something so huge. But I also love the intimacy of chamber music. I am learning to play the clarinet and my ambition is to one day be able to play stuff like the Mozart or Brahms quintets or the Saint-Saens sonata.

        I love Brahms chamber music. (Much different from chamber pot musicย  ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). The piano quintet is also very great, but anything Brahms wrote involving clarinet is delicious. Saint Saens best work is also his chamber stuff. I love Faure's contribution in the field also. I guess Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert are taken for granted ;). Also admire Schumann's trios, quartets and the quintet. Rachmaninov wrote some fine chamber works which probably don't get the recognition they are due.

          A great youtube playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-ZPKjlzZw

          This is an amazing piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuJ69_DBnSU

          I could go on about Scriabin, Mussorgsky, Magnard, Schumann's piano music, but I'd bore you ๐Ÿ™‚

                        I love classical music

                        my favourite is probably not "classical " per say
                        but is Delius.

                          This thread is a very broad church, all are welcome. But I think Delius would fall into anyone's 'classical' definition. That is for music, not the period ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Classical can mean different things according to context. It certainly means different things in a Greek or Roman context, or in a Carnatic or Hindustani context, for instance. As cannonmc says, Delius is certainly within the purview of what most people would consider classical music.ย  Am actually listening to (and playing) quite a deal of Rachmaninov lately. This is my slight obsession of the moment:

                            But am actually listening to this piece atm :

                              I like classical music. I'm just getting into it now, though, really.

                                        Well, I loved Tori Amos's album with classical music. Thanks to that, I like some of Satie's work.

                                        But I listen to Max Richter. Not classical, but neoclassical ๐Ÿ˜›

                                          This was played on BBC Radio3 this morning. I thought it was lovely.

                                          American composer, born 1954. I'm now going to listen to more of him
