MovieChat Forums > Classical Music > Sexy Classical Music

I'm talking (mostly) about classical musicians you think are sexy, but feel free to post any actual classical music you think is sexy as well.

It would be an interesting experiment to try to time a love making session to the steadily building climax of Bolero.

I think this one fits both categories:

No offense, please. I apologize in advance. And this is not meant as any judgement on you in any way. I just really really really dislike Wagner.

I am sorry, it's Wagner and it's impossible for me to associate this with sex. Or at least good sex. If anything, it's sex that goes bad. Either the woman is still lying there and waiting for him to be done. Imagine going through this, both as a woman and a man, like in 'A Fish Called Wanda', where Jamie Lee Curtis breaks into John Cleese's house and pretends she was hot for him, whereas in reality she wants to find out what her victim's next move will be, since Cleese is the lawyer of her victim. And there she lies, barely enduring it.

Or the man is not fully functional although he tries and tries and tries so hard. Imagine having to endure this, too. That's what Wagner sounds like to me.

The dancers were good, though.

Which composer does sound sexy to you?

Tristan couldn't be any more like sex...unbridled passion, insatiable lust, intolerable yearning, the orgasmic closing...I've no idea how it could be heard any other way.

Rachmaninov.
Pure sensuality. I posted already the third piano concerto with Martha Argerich to the board. I also love Lang Lang's interpretation, but Argerich is more intense.
I just don't know yet which interpretation of the second piano concerto I should post to here.
Sexy? (1) Some of Tchaikowski and Schumann. Especially his piano concerto.
Beethoven, certainly. And some of Mozart. I haven't yet decided what to post to here.
Liszt also comes to mind and Chopin.
There are soooo many.

(1) ETA: 'Sexy' encloses both sexual and sensual for me in this context. [/ETA]

Rachmaninov? Mmm, sex perhaps, but via a Hallmark greetings card. I love the 2nd concerto too, but for me the big tune in the 3rd movement is more a monument to the joys or pains of being in love, or romance, rather than simple humping. I think I'd feel a bit self-conscious with that in the background...& given that it's all over in half an hour it doesn't leave that much time for pre-pump exploration. Wagner gives you 4 nights worth per opera!

Another Schumann PC lover - I just don't get it. I listened to it again the other night - some nice bars for sure, but many tedious or embarrassing ones, & to me it could never be sexy, just representative of a rather prim & prudish form of romantic attachment...if that.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure I find any classical music 'sexy'...& for me, sensual & sexual should always be given their respective independence; I'd reserve 'sexy' for funk or maybe some upbeat jazz...

Jazz if often sexy, but I'm pretty sure funk is always merely sexual.

Mozart is the sexiest music ever (when he wants it to be). I mean, there's a reason why his is the definitive version of the Don Juan story, surpassing even Moliere's magnificent play and even (slightly) Byron's poem.

Chopin is the second sexiest music ever (when he wants it to be). Oh boy, fud is going to love that one.
