While I am not enamored of baroque classical music (it is baroque, right?), I do enjoy a great symphonic performance.  When I was little, it was Leonard Bernstein who introduced the famous dead to me.  It was somewhat comical to my friends and family to hear me listening to piece recommended by Mr. B- whilst my radio (tuned to 1010WINS, of course) was belching tunes broadcast from Alan Freed’s or Murray the K’s fantastic shows.
