Hector Berlioz-The Man, his Music, the Romantic.

[hectorberlioz]

I'm wondering how many of you had heard of Berlioz before you knew me on this board.

I'm going to post a link to my favorite Berlioz site, so you can all familiarise yourself with him.

I also urge anyone, anyone to find music by Berlioz.

this is where you can read about someone's collection of 43 recordings of the Berlioz requiem.

why am I having such a heart attack right now? its because of the decline of Classical Music's popularity.
Such devoutly devoted classical music publishers, such as NAXOS, spend all their money on recording not to well known works of not to well known composers.
they do a lot, and its sad that they hardly get a profit out of it.
yet they continue, and hope for better times as people's music tastes change...hopefully torward classical.
classical music is not at all a boring thing. in fact it is the most exciting and wonderful of music genres.
I am 16 years old, and now why would a 16 year old be so into classical music?
because i breached the wall: the wall that reads: "classical music is by three guys; Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. classical music is for losers."
Actually I came in through another passage; film music. thank you Mr. John Williams, I dont listen to your music much anymore, but thank you, thank you.




please help to rid the world of stupid, mindless, money making/money greedy, unnecessary pop singers like Britney Spears.
please support your local symphony orchestra if possible.
please pick up classical music, at least once in a while (if not ALL the time ).
the reason you dont like classical music(if this applies to you) is because you havent heard classical music.
