I'm not one, but trying as the new G/F is. Currently downloading this from Amazon. Bargain!!!

Classical it should be I suppose!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm. Good as an initial introduction to the genre, but very poor soloists and not the finest performances, I would wager.
Deutsche Gramaphone do a very good range of "budget" recordings.
Ooh, I dunno, Flashy; Royal Phil. and Yehudi are mentioned in that list.
Bargain. Great intro, and would make a fantastic shop PA selection.

Don't try sounding like a 'buff', Flashy. DG are some of the finest recordings available.
Bear in mind these are all MP3 files, so not the quality of AIFF CD files.
Oh God, forgot this was STW...
RB, I was referring to the DG intro range - link here - http://www2.deutschegrammophon.com/webseries/?ID=entree
That collection is a good intro, I agree, I hope it leads to listening to more, fuller works!
Can I recommend this?

tee hee
oops
Oh, Sorry Flashy! I thought you were being snobbish about DG! Thought it strange, even for you!
Make you right on that Planets recording. I used to have a Halle Orchestra recording of that, on cassette tape! I think I may have to invest in that Berliner/Karajan version.
Free, and excellent: The [url= http://www.gardnermuseum.org/music/podcast/theconcert.asp ]Isabella Stewart Gardner[/url] classical podcasts. There's a minute or so of talk at the beginning, don't let that put you off, though...
Mogrim: mmmm. some of that's going on my usb drive to play at work.
I find classical music is particularly fine for fettling bikes. Plus, the youths can't stand it... 😈
I build wheels to Elgar.
Nothing finer.
bassspine, glad you like it - I've got a hard drive filled with it at work 🙂
And the garage stereo is permanently tuned to the Spanish equivalent of Radio 3. Which is indeed excellent for fettling.
