@hifiguy42

There is so much material, I feel like I have a whole world to discover.

Oh, indeed there is. Part of the enjoyment is learning how they all fit into the big picture and puzzle often referred to as ‘classical’. The ‘modern’ composers are some of my favorites, Stravinsky is incredible.

Enjoy the journey.

@dayglow

I get the vibe that opera/individuals are not a major interest to you?

I have a number of opera boxes, and also sonata LP’s for solo piano, violin, etc. Not always my first choice, but do play them when in the mood or want that change. Primarily symphonies, orchestral, and quartets, & chamber are my the type I listen to most.
