have heard that Tchaikovsky (the russian) was pretty good at composing. saw a movie about his life & times back in the day. think he had it pretty tough, but it didn't take away from his talent as a musician.
I do enjoy it, listen to it alot on NPR stations in the car as I HATE commercials and the NPR classical stations don't push agendas too heavily. Except for the good music agenda.
I Solisti Italiani are pretty decent musicians and Vivaldi is pretty good stuff:

Growing up playing the cello and then moving to bass I have always been fond of Bach. After a hard day a little Bach on will relax you. I can listen to or play it and forget all my problems.

I had to sell my double bass when I got divorced and haven't found one that I liked and can afford but I do enjoy keeping my electric bass chops sharp by playing Bach. I use to play sonata No. 1 as a intro to Queen's Somebody To Love in a rock band I played in.

Mike, seems we may not agree on the necessity of a gps unit for hunting open range but we can agree on the above.

I m a classically trained singer, though retired. Sang with the Navy Band for 20 years, studied at the Boston Conservatory and privately for another 20 years. Partial to Puccini. Not a great fan of operas, much prefer Concert arias. Get to the good stuff...
