People,
I am having a great time rooting through the music forum archives, some very interesting stuff reminding me to follow up forgotten leads in various genres. I am however interested in broaching the final frontier and exploring the citadel of pipe smokers and tweed wearers: classical.
I freely admit that I am utterly, shamefully ignorant of the whole area and could do with some informed suggestions to find my way about. The closest I have managed so far is taping "Rock me Amadeus" off the radio as a child and somehow I don't think that carries much weight among the cognoscenti.
The classical "greatest hits" approach tends to leave me a bit cold so any informed suggestions? I was thinking in terms of smaller scale stuff and really like the sound of strings ("Stroke it Noel" off of Big Star's 3rd album anyone?).
Jim.
