Damn That Music Sounds Classical

You lucky bugger.

It is just the purest expression of regret. He also looks like he had too much drink the night before.
Yes!

Truly a classic for the ages!
I had my heart set on getting a top notch hummer at my funeral, but alright.
So here's, Inspiration by Jan de Haan.
I can see why I got it confused with Seven Wonders, it starts with music that you'd find in a old movie set in Ancient Egypt or Greece. I love that kind of stuff.
Celloist from Rasputina that put out a couple of her own solo albums. She plays a few measures while recording, then plays the recording. She plays over the recording and so on and so forth. There's no electronic sound to her music, but she's faking multiple cello players.
Thats one of those that you know but have no idea where its from!
I love that Nuka, its so clever! Reminds me of:

Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
@Liiya if you want to enjoy more classical music then good choral stuff like this is a great place to start
No accompaniment, just beautifully simple harmonies
I can recommend more stuff in a similar vein if you like it!
indoor spaces made of stone with high ceilings have fantastic acoustics
I know this sounds good in a church because I have sung it in a church! It's a really lovely sing too, not too hard, and a very nice melodic bass part
I can't figure out why it is inherently so much quieter than other music. Like if I am at work trying to listen to music in the back with a speaker I have, or in the car or something, I have to jack the sound waaaaay up just to be able to hear it, and sometimes the speakers just don't go loud enough for me to actually really hear anything.
Almost uniformly. It makes me sad
Take, say, Handel's Coronation Anthem, Zadok the Priest. That's meant to be sung by two choirs, really, with a full orchestra. Sit in front of that when those choirs break into voice and it'll blow your socks off.
Also the dynamics in classical music tend to be more complex than in modern music, which retains a steady dynamic all the way through compared to the very quiet and VERY LOUD parts of classical stuff. So you set modern music as loud as you want it when it starts playing, and it mostly stays that way, with classical music that can often not be the case.
This is to blame I would guess: Loudness War
edit: Which is basically what was already said by others. Should have read the rest of the page.

i got a huge heifetz compilation so it has stuff from a bunch of different composers
This reminds me of a time when I sang Zadok the Priest with a tiny choir.
There were seriously maybe 25 people.
It's like, why would you even bother at that point?

The guy's range is absolutely incredible
And here is a lovely recording of the same piece sung in a more classical manner by a (very good) choir
He's probably a counter tenor - his bass part really doesn't even get close to the bottom of baritone levels.
edit: Absolutely not to diminish how seriously beautifully done this is, though. It's a very smart choice of piece.

He's almost certainly a proper counter tenor, yeah
I dunno how low the guy can go. Probably not proper bass notes, you're right. Still, that's a part a bass might sing, so very impressive regardless.
this is one of my all time faves. I was studying classical music at a conservatory when I first heard it and it was so entirely alien - the harmonies and phrasing and progression were like something totally different to everything I'd been studying
