I tried at a couple of times but it just wasn't my sound I wanted to hear.

My father had Beethoven's sixth symphony on three 12 inch 78 rpm records way back in the 1950s. That's six sides to fit the entire symphony on and six 'needles' to play it all. I use to sit in a corner somewhere in our old house with a rolled up newspaper and 'trumpet' the entire thing from memory.

Incredibly eclectic music lover but yes Beethoven is among the ones I like.

If you like a bit of silliness, you might enjoy this.

I grew up with all kinds of music - classical being some of it. Not only do I listen to Beethoven, and others, I've been fortunate to sing in choruses that did many classical works - Beethoven's 9th Symphony being one of them. A favorite of mine - I never forget all the words in German ...

Daily, but mostly modern and even metal renditions.

I listen to classical music....Beethoven included.

Compared to the crap that is today’s music it is like a breath of fresh air for the soul

He's one of my all-time favorite composers. I think I have all of his works. I've read several of his biographies, and I had the opportunity to visit his house in Bonn Germany several years ago. It was an almost spiritual experience. It was my dream many years ago to learn to play the third movement of his Moonlight Sonata. Alas, I've stopped playing the piano of late.

I cannot live without classical music. My tastes vary from day to day but I'm always up for Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Debussy. The chorus from the Verdi Requiem is astounding. I love Spanish classical music - Rodrigo, Manuel daFalla - etc. Domingo singing Zarzuelas. Stravinsky "The Rite of Spring." Bernstein's "Kaddish." "Songs of the Auvergne" Great performances by pianists, singers, violinists. Music for me is highly spiritual and feeds me every day.

Love Beethoven. Ninth Symphony makes life worth living.
