Suggestions, please...


Can anyone give me some suggestions for expanding my knowledge of classical music?

I tend to prefer Vivaldi, Mozart, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin (I know Rachmaninoff and Gershwin aren't technically "classical"), and some Chopin. I will be up front and say I hate Wagner and Copeland, and am not too keen on Mahler, either. Not much of a Beethoven fan, except for parts of the 7th and 9th.

I am interested in learning works of some other composers, though, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Rachmaninoff not classical??
If he lived in 20th century id doesn't mean that he's not classical. He is by all his means and ways to write music and so is Prokofiev, Skryabin...
Alphred Schnittke is another story...
