I Love Classical Music

I love Mozart since I saw [i]Amadeus[/i] at the age of 12 in the cinema. I discovered Beethoven a few years later and was totally overwhelmed by his 5th sinfony at the age of almost 17 - and I never changed my mind about this masterpiece!
I also like Bach, Händel, Haydn, Schubert, Bruckner, Vivaldi, Verdi and last but not least: Brahms!
By the way, I not really like Wagner...

I have almost the same taste so as you: I like most of those composers you called here - except Wagner. Although one of my ancestors was opera singer and became famous as Tannhäuser... 😂

My absolutely composer is Haydn. After that Mozart. 😊

@Loretta78 Thank you for your reply! I like Haydn since many years, but I finded out late how great his music is for real.
Nevertheless, Mozart and Beethoven are my two favorites.
Wagner is a special case. I usually like his overtures, but as soon as the singing starts my interest decreases...

What about Mahler and R. Strauss? And Elgar, for that matter/

Settembrini · 51-55, M

Richard Strauss is not real my cup of tea, nevertheless I like some of his works. Mahler is a similar case. I hardly know any of Elgar's works, but I like his melancholy cello concerto!

Yes, affected by the Great War. As for Strauss: what a range--compare Salome with Ariadne. Or Ein Heldenleben with Metamorphosen (affected by the losses of the Second War).
