University Challenge - Classical Music Compilation No. 3 

Well, at least it does sound like spring.

It does sound like a Ritual, where there Pagan Gods, Sacrificing their own people

​@@rejedyit does in some hands!

Yes. It doesn't get any worse than that.

Not such a stupid reply, given that Bayreuth is in Bavaria.

@@nickyork8901 Sure, like Nuremberg and Neuschwanstein, but it's so far away from Wagner's style that it remains stupid.

Romantic repertoire?

I didn't know Delibes composed Carmen 😅

They got the timing right a few times. But Carmen, Delibes 😂

I came here for Clegg

Fuck offtwosetters most people in classical music hates you cos of your stupid comments. ffs

@@bruh7130 and you can do nothing as their community is growing and growing. At least more are enjoying classical music.

Henry Hun I can tell more are enjoying classical music, and I like that classical music growing. What bothers me is people go to classical videos just type tell others the reason for coming to the video, which means they don’t appreciate the music in anyway, but just to comment twoset and shit. If you really appreciate the video for what it is about, at least show decent respect by posting someone related to the video and not something completely irreverent like twoset

Henry Hun also there will always be more classical musicians than those who watches twoset that is a fact, cos there are at least a 100million who loves classical music

Daphnis and Chloe

Hexameron

@@rehmmyteon5016 found the recording on youtube finally, it's by William Wolfram! I personally like Hamelin's performance more though.

It's Hexameron variations. Strictly speaking, this is not a proper question, because Hexameron is a joint work by 6 people, one of them is Chopin, another one is Pixis, don't remember the rest. The part played belongs to Liszt.

True, I didn't know some of the pieces (like Brahms' trios in the last compilation or Pelleas here) but I knew enough about the composers' styles to guess some of them.

Yeah, I found a lot of this painful. But in case you or other viewers don't know, it might be worth emphasizing that this is a general knowledge show, so the people here might not know anything about classical music specifically. Questions could be about literature or chemistry or history or whatever.

@@AlessandroSistiMusic not recognizing the pastoral symphony or the rhapsody on a theme of paganini is like not knowing that hemoglobin contains iron or that the value of pi is 3.14. Indications are that the general education of the last few decades has omitted classical music in favour of -- who knows? It's simply been omitted.

@@AlessandroSistiMusic Some of the science and math questions are absolutely labyrinthine - not knowing the basic canon of western music is, as Paxman says, "lamentable."

At least their guesses are (mostly) educated. The questions are very hard, especially for a piano player who knows almost nothing about opera

@@mallorybesom1717 answers are always obvious if you know them. Have you tested yourself at identifying 80's pop music, great musicals, jazz classics or R&B?
