Loved your recent onstage vocals with Cullan, btw. That was all sorts of fun, capping off a fun day!

For those willing to reply, I’m curious about your very first exposure to classical music.
Mine likely sounds ho-hum, but it was my Pop’s scratchy Cziffra album of Chopin waltzes, which became a life-long love. From there, I listened over and over to Schubert’s Impromptus performed by Murray Perahia, and the seeds were sown.

(sorry, an old and corny reference to M.A.S.H.'s Radar O'Reilly).
Thanks Carol, I need to dabble in more J.S. Bach - so good! I like his kid's stuff too, but I've barely scratched the proverbial surface .

I'm impressed by your well-rounded love of all sorts or music.
YouTube is virtually unlistenable without a subscription or by using some other means to suppress the virtually non-stop adds... but I've assembled a feel-good, best-of list on my channel... please pardon the shameless, self-indulgent channel plug...

I feel fortunate too to have had exposure to WFMU in my early, formative years.
Sometimes, WPRB - Princeton could be received on good-reception days. That also formed an additional base of music that I still love.
