I took classical guitar and got to grade 4 so I was exposed to many composers. Although I guess I'm more mainstream when it comes to classical I cant get enough moonlight sonata and air on a G string.

I love some of the more commonly known pieces in classical music, and while I understand why some people hate Pachelbel's Canon, I still like it.

I started playing cello when I was like 10. And you think that alone would have gotten me into classical music. But I HATED playing classic pieces and would rather have performed more contemporary things. It wasn't until I heard Rachmaninov's Prelude in C Sharp Minor that I really got into it. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is also a favorite of mine.

What got me into classical music was my mom always playing Bach when I was a kid. It's hard not to love something when you grew up with it; I tried to rebel agianst it in my early teens but that didn't work, luckily. Bach is still my favourite because everything just fits so well, it's almost like maths.

Even though I grew up on pop music, other types of music were always around the home, and I loved Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.

Hi this is my first post. I was 15 yrs old & was listening to the local University radio station. They played Beethovens Symphony#3 played by The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Before that moment I had been an 80's metalhead kid. I realized instantly that Beethoven was the most amazing thing I had ever heard. I played It LOUD through my headphones. Then I heard Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #2 on the same radio station. I had always been told that classical music was boring and stodgy and only for really really old people for some reason. I realized I had been lied to. The tone of the orchestra, the complex musical structures that don't rely at all on drumsets or guitars , but was incredibly powerful in its own way. The way that classical music has musical architecture and beauty that you don't get even close to being able to express in metal or rock music. I was so enamored with it I decided that I was going to teach myself how to compose orchestral music. And fast forward 30 years, I'm still teaching myself.

If you want to examine the many ways that metal and classical music intersect, watch this guy's videos:
