Heavy Metaller needs some class ical .


Okay, okay, I'm 33 years old and I still love heavy, speed, and death metal. I might never grow up :), but I'm willing to give some great classical recordings a try. I was hoping to get some good recommendations on the top 3 or so classical recordings on CD and DVD-A to get me started. Being an adreneline based music listener, you'll obviously want to recommend high energy stuff that is wonderfully recorded to save my soul from eternal damnation. :)

Excellent suggestions here and some I will have to try myself. This list would not be complete without Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," (which was used on the air assault scene in "Apocalypse Now.") Rowdy orchestral music for sure. I would also second the Rossini. It is the only orchestral music I ever witnessed my 12-year-old daughter bob her head to. She usually just ducks down in my truck from embarrassment as I tend to "air baton" most of the orchestral music I play and am familiar with. I think I'm pretty good, she doesn't appreciate me at all. [:)]
