Rushton,
Another thank you. I am not familiar with Classical music, but there is LOTS to enjoy. I did not grow up with that experience. However, I am seeking music which will move me.
Tonight I listened to Bach violin concertos. Great music and well recorded. The LPs are from the Musical Heritage Society. Also some Mozart and Ravel.
Oregon, glad to hear you've enjoyed some of the classical music posts. As you say "Lots to enjoy" as one explores this genre. I really like your approach of looking for music that will move you! That's what it's all about.
Thanks Rushton!
Can you, or anyone else, recommend a site, or any other source, for Classical music to look for? It could be composers, labels, etc?
I realize theree is a vast amount, but for those of us who are not hipped as to what to look for, this would be a great help.
Thanks.
For classical music recommendations, there are some good threads in the Audiogon archives. Here are links to some of them:

For an extensive listing of recommended classical LPs based on sound quality (and I happen to think that most are superb performances, as well), see Arthur Salvatore's website and look at his "Supreme LP Recordings" list:

Forgot to mention: several of the threads listed in the post above are general introductions to exploring classical music, others focus on recommendations about specific recordings to explore within a genre of classical music.
