Suggestions, please...


Can anyone give me some suggestions for expanding my knowledge of classical music?

I tend to prefer Vivaldi, Mozart, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin (I know Rachmaninoff and Gershwin aren't technically "classical"), and some Chopin. I will be up front and say I hate Wagner and Copeland, and am not too keen on Mahler, either. Not much of a Beethoven fan, except for parts of the 7th and 9th.

I am interested in learning works of some other composers, though, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Checkout BBC on the web. It is one of the best free web resource you'll ever come across. It is like getting a free classical music appreciation course taught by some of the best in the biz. Their achieve runs from Bach to Walton and everything in between.
