Your Favorite Classical and Opera
We have a Morbid Classical Music thread, but no Favorite Classical thread .

The violin's sound is light dancing, fire crackling, the wind's caress...
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
This, among many others:

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
Regarding opera, my all-time favorite is Strauss' Salome. No other opera achieves anything like the macabre and ghoulish splendor of the final aria of Salome, in which the titular heroine, being presented with the decapitated head of John the Baptist, for whom she has a creepy erotic obsession, serenades said decapitated head with the most morbid, decadent, and exquisite aria in all of opera.

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera


- Leszek (Lech) Jankowski just might be the greatest underappreciated composer working today; his scores for the films of the Quay Brothers stand as masterpieces in their own right.

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera

Two sublime pieces.
They were watching, out there past men's knowing, where stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West[/I]
