Au contraire... type "classical" into LastFm search and you'll get 14,000 results.

Sorry I wasn't clear as to what I meant. It is difficult to pass along recommendations on classical pieces because the renditions of specific items can be very different depending on (obviously) the author, the conductor, the orchestra, and other factors like use of period instruments and tunings etc...

I know LastFM, Pandora and probably others offer classical. It is a good way to identify things you might like.

Thank you. That will be an entertaining list to go through. From what I can see I haven't heard any of it. I really appreciate your efforts.
