Default Classical Music Is Alive and Well on Audio Aficionado!

Obviously, not everyone here is a fan of classical music - but there are a lot of us that are.

The three most popular threads in AA are all located in the Music Forum and it is my great pleasure to announce . . . .

That the third most popular thread - by number of posts - in all of Audio Aficionado is . . . .

http://www.audioaficionado.org/class...night-176.html

With now over



Please drop by, take a look, and share with us, some of that classical music that you sneak around playing.

The Classical Music thread is a place to share and to learn. Most of the posts include information about the music being played and often include recommendatios about various recordings, composers and artists.

Try Classical Music - It sounds superb on your wonderful music systems

Julian

I'm certain there are also some classical selections in the What are you listening to tonight, and the What are you spinning threads.

Couldn't agree more. The "Classical Music Tonight" is a great thread.

Well ok, you brought up the subject. I don't know if Rossini imagined this type of performance, when he wrote the overture.
