willing to admit?
im more willing to admit i listen to classical than i am eurodance :P
my dad was a music teacher, (classically trained) so classical music had a large influence on my life - after he died we were left with well over 400 classical music cds and a large collection of elizabethan instruments
big fan of Dvorak, Henry Purcell, Vivaldi, Tomaso Albinoni...theres so much its mind boggling.

My wakeup light alarm clock emulates the sunrise while playing a classic music radio :)
Only have a dozen or so CD's though.

Yeah man, the writing is so much more complex and dynamic than newer genres of music. I don't listen to it that much really, but sometimes you can't beat a bit of classical.
Favourite old school composer must be Vivaldi, and in newer times Garry Schyman (Bioshock etc).

I like it, but I don't listen to it as often as I would like. Gershwin is one of my favorites. Like his mixture of classical and jazz.

I guess, that if some of the artists back then had the same technical possibilities, they would produce electronic music today (the others probably would produce Metal).
It rather is the music's way of production than the sound of the music. You're not only simply writing music, you compose.
I think there are a lot of great melodies, but for my personal taste classical music sounds too old-fashioned. I probably never will be able to really enjoy it deeply.

A similar "genre", trailer music, is IMHO more awesome:
Globus (Immediate Music)
Two Steps From Hell
City Of The Fallen

Yeah, I 'listen to Classical Trance and Classical Happy Hardcore tracks. I like Classic Trance music-
I reckon Trance and Classical Music can go hand-in-hand because they are simply beautiful pieces of music. - I mean the Really Good Trance
e.g. BBE - Seven Days and One Week, Robert Miles - Children

I listen to one or two bits.
My mates put Pavarotti on Youtube while my friends and I were playing FIFA and when the emotional part on the song came on, my mate got the ball to Suarez and made a run with oads of skill moves and chipped the keeper at the 120th minute in extra time. We were like crying and shit, it was unreal. Wish we recorded it, it was a moment of glory.
