I have always been a fan of classical music. Perhaps its because of That's Opera Doc, or maybe it's the various types of music that my family listened to as I grew up. I'm not sure. But I do enjoy it.
Of course many younger, and more than a few older, readers may not be familiar with classical music. I've heard the misstatments that classical music is boring, or without feeling. I suppose to those more in tune with instant everything this might be true.
So in an effort to introduce classical music to some who might never otherwise hear it I present some youtube videos that combine classical music with other forms of entertainment that might better appeal to the music video generations (and provide a few laughs for those older). Who knows, 35 years from now you might be doing something similar for the next generation.
Halo
Ok, not quite classical, but cool - Star Wars
Bleach - ok, its the techno version, but I love that version - Warning, video can cause seisures
Apocalypse Now
Star Trek (revision)
Muppets
Eric Prydz
Well I think that did it.
I think my point is made. Classical music isn't some ancient thing to be avoided. Like all music it can be what you make of it and take from it.
