Oh yeah...Classical is great...I'm a very slow learner of this type of music though...at first I hated it. Then some of my music teachers got me tuned into Bach, Orff, Beethoven, Holst, Handel, Rachmoninov (or however they spell it), and of course the over-melodramatic contemporary stuff from Gorecki, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and the movie guys...It's all good.

I like some violins, but I actually prefer the impact a full symphony delivers. I love choral music. I still think the human voice is the best instrument for delivering true emotion.

I make a point every month to buy at least 1 new classical piece...sometimes it takes me a long time to learn to appreciate it, but it's always fun finding "new" music.

I've found the worst way to get introduced to it is through compilations...Those inevitably end up sounding like a collection of commercial jingles and don't really expose you to enough.
