I don't listen to it nearly enough. Beethoven is probably my favorite (I made an MP3 CD with all nine symphonies, about 10 piano sonatas, and a couple string trios that gets a lot of use.) but I also love Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin, and Stravinsky. I'm about due for another classical music phase. I love classical music. I don’t listen to it nearly enough.

However, my local library has a nice selection of classical CDs available... Which Russians are you fond of, Dan? Rachmaninoff is still my favorite. Oh, and did I mention his <em>Vespers</em>? Beautiful, <em>a capella</em> choir stuff. Amazing. Yeah, classical radio always leaves something wanting. However, my local library has a nice selection of classical CDs available…

But thankfully I've gotten over that - I still hate classical radio, as what they play what to classical as adult contemporary is to art rock - but recently I've discovered some wonderful classical composers, especially of the Russian variety that I love very much. *dan I had the same experience growing up, but instead of producing a love of classical music in me, it produced a great hatred, probably because my parents would permit me to listen to almost nothing else.
