not your classic classical

first.... please take the time to watch these all. it is worth it.

now i am an avid classical music fan. and as much as i love the true classics which i have posted several times in the past. these pieces might appeal to those who haven't yet warmed up to some of it yet. or who just like metal

this take on JS BACH's toccata and fugue in d minor is absolutely incredible. as much as i love the haunting sound of his organ works. the deep pipes humming at my soul. this version by vanessa mae and the bratislava radio symphony orchesta is quite impressive and upbeat



next up is a group called Apocalyptica.... a quartet of cellos from norway i believe?? not positive on that but i do know they are from the area where black metal rules all. they do covers of metallica songs and are just exquisite. no more words just listen


and my personal favorite .. not metallica but a real classic... "hall of the mountain king" this is epic seeing this gigantic crowd rocking to cellos! ugh.

the original is pretty badass itself as well.

and all of this got me in the mood for metal sooooooo.....

start this one at 2:07



and now back to the start.... my theory has been proven by these.... you cannot deny the uncanny resemblance of these riffs and solos to the works of good ol BACH


because this is insane too



sorry last one...

daily dose is done
