- 0Troy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Hmmm, sounds like a trick... Isn't Mozart signed with the RIAA???
- wtfunkymonkey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I downloaded well over 30,000 songs for free already, inluding Mozart. What's so great about this?
- saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They're under public domain, seumas.
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Happy belated 250th bday, Moz.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Danish infidels! The name Mozart shares three letters with the name Mohammed! And he was a Freemason, which is incompatible with Islam! We will not tolerate this insult! Death to Denmark!
- tyboulder, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Terrorists! God Bless Amerika!
- saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ah, I just thought of something. The music is under public domain but if the music was played by someone else...it's illegal to download.
- buryme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Since I can't read any of that, can anyone tell me which orchestra is performing these?
- diggerphelps, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Danish National Radio is now called "Rose of the Prophet Mohammed" Radio.
OK, I need a pastry. - 0Troy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@saysaknow
Actually, if we copy it to a media device (CD, MP3 Player, etc.) THEN that's recreation and distribution!
*0Troy quickly gets hauled away for copying the music into his brain after listening to it* - verucasalt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Do they have any muslim cartoons to go with that?
- cheese06, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0happy bday mozart
- moussa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can anyone recommend which symphonies are the best to download?
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's hard to find complete symphonies. A lot of P2P has bad or incomplete classical music. A lot of mislabelling as well.
- tiamat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0God kvalitet -[good quality?]

Best... comment... ever... - seanalltogether, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm not fully up on Copyright law, but if I were to do a performance of a song in the public domain, are others allowed to distribute that performance without paying me?
Just curious - thoughtfulclown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0and i give a crap b/c????
haha chicken101 - you made me laugh out loud sitting here - goodespeler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Don't want to download each individually? Create a file called mozart.sh and paste this in it:

- Mullinsmcd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4For Classical music n00bs who just wanna get it because its free *****, make sure you at least get #41
- 0Troy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@kajoob
I hear he had a tattoo that read M-DAWG across his back in olde english - tarun, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Just to be clear--these classical music symphonies are in ENGLISH, right? :)
- ColMustard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If you aren't an avid listener of classical music, I would recommend you download Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor. It's one of his best and some of the greatest music ever written.
- steveng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No tarun, you need to run it through BabbleFish :)
- tristanj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@moussa
the best symphony for someone new is number 40. Mozart wrote only two symphonies in a minor key, and this is one of them. You may recognise the main theme of the first movement.
Number 41 is considered by some his greatest work but it is not so accessible. - augo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just had to register... tarun, you should know that music is not in any language right? and you know Mozart was German right?.... sooo... no, they are not in english... BTW, Im danish, and yes we are very upset about the Muhammed drawings, and how they get more publicity than the Madrid Bombings...
- seanalltogether, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually all the ones I've sampled so far have some dude talking in Danish in the beginning for a bit...so no tarun.
- mGee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1No "Mozart" isn't signed with the RIAA.... I hope you were being sarcastic with that question 0troy....or else I'll lose even more faith in the intelligence level of humanity.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mozart's good, but I've always preferred Holst. Still, free/legal music always gets a Digg.
- Gnascher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1HAhh ... it's funny how that guy played the oboe with a swedish accent. I almost couldn't understand the violins thier accent was so thick.
I though germans only had oompah bands.
Weeee I'm typing in the intranets. - elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"WOLFGANG! This is Wolfgar." Will free downloads be the way to get the kiddies to groove on the old masters?
- elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Somewhere, on a copy-protected server, a Salieri concerto is weeping.
- MiamiGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Woot! Mozart!
- GreatBunzinni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm.... This is what bittorrent is made for. I didn't knew danish national radio had so much bandwidth to spare.
- zedwards, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, snark detection meter is very low here! (the riaa and the language posts i believe were jokes).
But quick before the extremists take this one down too! - maloney_633, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like classical music now, before I had only downloaded 1 classical song and it was from the itunes music store. This is great free quality music.
- spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1do all geeks like classical?
- maloney_633, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would not want to say it is a require meant but...................
- PurpleMeteor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0- felchdonkey, being a freemason does not prevent you from having Islam as your religion, and
- augo, Mozart was austrian but thanks for playing anyway :D - automagically, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I feel bad not using bittorrent and downloading straight from the server. Getting good speed though, over 400 KB/s with DownThemAll.
Classical Music... Relax, It's Good For You!
I was jammin out to some Vivaldi the other day in my car, I could mosh to his stuff RArrArrR1!11!! - EdLesMann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ goodespeler
dude you rock! I was thinking about doing that but didnt care to go get the links, good thing I decided to read the comments...
Thanks! - GreatBunzinni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The danish national radio are doing a great service not only to danish citizens but also to the world. Unfortunately the only gripe I have with them is the fact that they used the MP3 format, an audio format encumbered with software patents. If they used some sound format like ogg vorbis, then it would be excelent.
- DubbedOver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0God bless you chicken101.
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0God bless Mozart.
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Ah, I just thought of something. The music is under public domain but if the music was played by someone else...it's illegal to download."
Actually, it's up to the performer to decide to release their production into public domain. It's quite possible that somewhere, a college symphony decided to perform and freely release this collection, deciding that getting the music out there was more important than making a few bucks. If they want to make money, there's still trillions of other classical songs they can perform.
Free MP3's... that's the language of the kiddies. Good way to get the word out in a world plagued (for a better term) with RIAA filth such as rap and Britney. - HeyItsMe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome, except for the first three minutes cause some random guy is talking about something I dont understand.
