Re: Do you ever listen classical music?

All the time. One of my favorite is .... Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade
I like most with orientalism flavor.

I am 100% convinced that Dmitri Shostakovich was the best composer to ever live.

He composed his String Quartet No. 8 right before he was about to kill himself in an apartment in Petrograd. If this piece does not convince you of his genius, I don't know what will.

I don't listen to music at all anymore so every genre falls under "sometimes."

Ahhhh you must of course be referring to Schoenberg's "Survivor from Warsaw". It's so relaxing!
