This is great classical music and if you are able to cry or feel emotion from a song/music then you are far ahead of many people these days in terms of feeling and soul.
These may seem a little long if you're not used to classical music, but they are well worth listening through:
It gets purely orgasmic at around 1:20 on the second part. Beautiful concerto.
interesting... I personally enjoy a lot more rock, but I play the piano, so kind of conflicted there.
It's a beautiful piece.
I always find it absurd that people find it incredulous that I have Mayhem, Justin Timberlake, Tchaikovsky, Taking Back Sunday and Ice Cube in the same CD rack.
People need to step out of the culture of their music and learn to enjoy music as awhole. This comes from a former feverehent metal and punk rocker.
As for Tchaikovsky's work, I've always been partial to the 1812 overture.
And whoever didn't grow up hearing masterpieces like Dance Of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Swan Lake or The Nutcracker Suite in their Saturday Morning cartoons as kids are clearly off the Spongebob generation and I weep for you.
" @Colonel_Cool: whats so long about them? They're about 5 mintues long... "
"@crunchUK said:Well, they are actually from the same piece, the second video is a continuation of the first. Most songs run around 2-3 minutes long while an entire concerto can run from 30-40 minutes (those two videos make up the first movement of three of Rachmaninov's second piano concerto). It really isn't "long", it's just written in a different form from the shorter songs that we have today. "" @Colonel_Cool: whats so long about them? They're about 5 mintues long... "
