For me, classical music often seems to be lacking something and I tried to work out what it is. I figured out that it's the rythym section. I like music with drums and bass and a bit of pace and aggression and classical music misses that most of the time. I really like the sound of classical instruments though so when they are played together with a rock band, that's the best music for me. I am very much into things like:

  • ELP adaptations of classical pieces
  • Yngwie Malmsteen playing with an orchestra
  • Metallica's S&M album
  • Rick Wakeman playing live with an orchestra
  • Yes's Magnification album

Probably you never heard A Night at the Bald Mountain or In the Hall of the Mountain King, that's aggressive and full of rhythm.

Many Modern Classical composers added solid percussion and aggression to their music also.
