Classical Music?
WailAway:
I am general fan of "classical" music, due to being in orchestra. Currently I enjoy music more in the "romantic" style.
Also as I cello player, I am a fan of the good cello concertos, including
The Dvorak one...
Cello Concerto in A minor, Saint-Saens
and my current piece
Concerto in D minor, Edouard Lalo
Inlander:
Dude. Bach. Elgar.
Misereatur:
--- Quote from: Moiche ---Or you know, Wagner's Götterdämmerung has a few dark and stormy moments. Like when the land of the Gods gets burned to the ground.
Seriously, my best musical experience ever: seeing the Ring Cycle, specifically Götterdämmerung, at the Metropolitan Opera in orchestra seats. (Second best: Sufjan Steven's "Feel the Illinoise" tour.)

One of my dreams is to see Wagner's operas in the Bayreuth Festival.
Unfortunately:
--- Quote ---Wagner's operas have never been staged in the modern state of Israel, and the few instrumental performances that have occurred have provoked much controversy. Although his works are commonly broadcast on government-owned radio and television stations, attempts at staging public performances have been halted by protests, which have included protests from Holocaust survivors. For instance, after Daniel Barenboim conducted a passage from Tristan und Isolde as an encore at the 2001 Israel Festival, a parliamentary committee urged a boycott of the conductor, and an initially scheduled performance of Die Walküre had to be withdrawn. On another occasion, Zubin Mehta played Wagner in Israel in spite of walkouts and jeers from the audience

KharBevNor:
You know, Hitlers favourite film was King Kong, but I don't see that being boycotted by Holocaust survivors.
Some people need to chill the hell out. Also, NEVER let these guys cotton on to the fact that people in Isreal are enjoying neo-folk. Because we all know the crap that goes round about DI6.
Misereatur:
Funny thing is, nobody said anything when DI6 came here to preform live in Tel Aviv. But Der Blutharsch got banned because some anti-racist group sent letters to Israeli ministers saying that Der Blutharsch were facists. Der Blutharsch got banned after they issued a special Israeli only T-Shirt and a limited CD for Israeli fans.
Seriously, sometime the left wing partys in this country piss the hell out of me*, why the hell would a nazi group even think about coming to Israel?
*my political opinios are considered far left.
