A selection of excerpts from the most popular and well-known pieces of Richard Strauss, who features at number ten in the top ten list of the greatest composers of all time. The sound isn't as good as I'd like it to be but I had to make do with what I could find.

  • meh, the best part of zarathustra is das tanzlied.

  • I agree

  • i love this.

    Would you tink I was silly if i said this first piece of music makes me want to buy myself a set of REALLY BIG drums?

  • I think it might affect a lot of people that way! It really is a very stirring piece!

  • I agree with Palinmaniac.Kids these days do not know what is good.I think that the school and also parents should introduce classical music in a child's life.That way maybe the child wouldn't listen to very loud and violent music.

  • You are right cdelya. Schools don't give enough attention to preserving classical music and introducing young people to it.

  • wow... your make me ashamed to have been a supporter of anything conservative.

    Discrimination, labeling groups, is cool only with your friends. You can´t classify all 'young people' as liking West. And as a facist rightist, you fail to realize what music is!!!

    It's aobut expression. Good music is about good composition, etc. But maybe some people CAN'T relate to what classical music is trying to convey?? Maybe they want to connect with Kanye, or Metallica??

  • A very feminine double-bass section!

  • sad to see the comments getting ugly on this video

  • 1st of all, I don´t watch TV, play video games, etc. It´s a waste of valuable time. I spend my time making music on a guitar.

    but what you really need to ask is why? Why Kanye? Why Metallica? Why Radiohead? Why R. Strauss? Why do people choose the music they do?

    Until you can answer that then you don't understand music and it's complexity. I believe you like classical because it's the pinnicale of beauty in music. I like 'indie' (hate the term) because it's the pinnicale of expression.

  • Keep talking vader.

    You keep making my point.

    Love your video's Grumpy, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

  • OMG no wonder. You're a FAMILY GUY FAN!

    Makes perfect sense. LOL!
