    Vivaldi Four Seasons - "Summer"

    I simply CANNOT stop watching this. It brings me so much joy. I love classical music.

    I've been listening to classical alot while I sleep. I think it gives me more lucid dreams. Vivaldi is one of my favorites.

    Summer is my fav!
    Vivaldi is what got me into classical music and ultimately classical guitar. Its easy listening (for one not trained classicaly) as musically its not complex but the melodies and effects are. Bach on the other hand is a bit mroe complex.

    I don't know if you guys have ever heard of Apocalyptica but basically these guys play the cello and they've redone some songs from Metallica. It is strangely awesome:

    I love classical music. Beethoven's Pastorale (I think it's the 6th Symph) is my fave. That & his Moonlight Sonata.

    I don't like that either. I won't hesitate to serenade my mom with it on mother's day though, because it's not about what I want on that day, but about what she wants.
