The first piece of classical music I bought - as a 17-yr old in the mid 1980s, after watching John Boorman's "Excalibur" and trying to find some of the music in it. In pre-internet days before google, tracking down music was a hit-or-miss affair.
Took me about another 4 years to buy any more, as a poor student I scrimped and saved and worked hard over the Xmas holidays in a shop to buy a CD player and I had enough money left over to buy 3 discs:
The Bruckner was a total shot in the dark.... I had never heard any of his music, I liked the cover and I'd read he was influenced by Wagner.... 28 years later I have 81 Gigabytes of Bruckner on my music server.
