Classical music for Rockers


I grew up in a non-musical household, so everything I heard was from the radio when my parents weren't listening. I quickly went from AM to FM, and from Pop to the AOR stations in Milwaukee at the time. I was raised (in a sense) on rock and roll radio.

It wasn't till much later that I was introduced to classical music. I have since been adding Bach, Mozart, Tscaikovski, and other to my regular playlist The last two things I bought were Mozart's Requium and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I hope I spelled those right.

What I am curious about is if there are others out there with the same experience, and if so: What Classical music are you listening to regularly?

Check out Mussorgsky's Pictures at a Exhibition. The XRCD with Reiner and Chicago is excellent sonically.

You may also like tone poems like Respighi's Pines of Rome.If you've never heard Stravinsky's Rite of Spring,it's worth a listen.

Lately I've been spinning Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra.
