Is this not one of the best pieces of classical music ever written?

I mean, listen to the sheer majesty and power of this:

Yo mayne, so you ain't even gonna try to defend the fact you said you would strawberry float a man???(no homo)

Damn, Denster was good at the organ back in the day!

Keep that in the other topic. Anyway, some of us are more comfortable with our sexualities than, well, you. I don't feel the need to point out that I'm not gay in every post I make, for one.

EDIT: At BoobyD.

I never realised that the pedals on an organ were like another set of keys, either!

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata beats the gooseberry fool out of that.

or
Chopin - Prelude Op. 28/15 in D flat major 'Raindrop'

Let's turn this into a Classical Music discussion.

It's a classic, but it's got nothing on this.

It's good, but it's not right.

Anything played on the Organ can make anything sound haunting. An amazing instrument at it's best.

Another I've always been fond of. Everyone should recognise this tune.

Raindrop

Raindrop was used on a Halo 3 Advert.

Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor = amazing. My favourite piece of music ever.

...and can you play it, my Grade 8 tinkling comrade?

You must have hands like shovels.

Heh, I can play it... But not with quite the same speed and gusto (particularly in that crazy middle section). Not yet anyway, but I will conquer it soon enough!

EDIT: And I agree that In the Hall of the Mountain King is also brilliant.

It's no Also spracht zarathrusta but it is fairly epic.

I prefer this version of Also Sprach....

Thanks for that. I'm sat at work giggling like a nutter with tea dribbling down my chin.

strawberry floating christ, that's abominable.

I know most wouldn't call it classical, but this piece always causes me to well up.
