Second(third) the internet radio but might add either the Penguin or Gramophone yearbook/guide to classical music. First find a piece you like, then look it up, read some descriptions, see if any of it makes sense, and maybe, heavy on the maybe, go from there. They might have some particular one singled out as really outstanding, somewhat rare, but every now and then it happens. That might give you a place to start for soloist, composer, playing group, could be symphonic, chamber, or solo, as well as a starting point to see what else that one/they did that you liked.
interested in exploring classical
Can anyone direct me in the right direction? I want to start exploring classical music and not sure where to start. My playback is CD. Is there a high quality company that is better? New to Audiogon and any help I would be grateful for
