"Classical Death Metal, like Deicide, Cannibal Corpse
"
I watched an old Slipknot concert on YouTube a little while ago and Cannibal Corpse popped up because of the algorithm.
I couldn't understand a word he was singing about  |

Not a real classical music lover but earlier this month went to a recontextualisation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by Anna Merideth, fused with her own electronic music. Brilliant and blown away by the Hallé

There must be something in it, look at all those adverts that use classical music and it’s great, British airways, pure new wool …….. and who doesn’t remember Nessun Dorma, but blimey, it all goes on a bit too long for me. The odd sound bite is great, but sitting through hours of it feels torturous. |

"The planets suite by Gustav Holst"
This, hands down. Even against all other genres I list this as my favourite album of all time. It has everything.
...to add something else to the thread though, I'll go with Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' |

there is lots of classical music that has been used in tv adverts, films etc that you simply were unaware that it was a classical piece.
chopin, funeral march
elgar nimrod
Verdi’s‘Libiamo ne’ lieti calici’
delibes flower duet
debussy claire de lune
beethovans ode to joy
Felix Mendelssohn’s ‘Vaterland, in deinen Gauen
enjoy the google search, just to confirm that you do in fact know them all
