Frances, you are by far not alone, great music! Right now, as I read this, I am listening to Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's "Elias" (we're having a concert with that in january). Most pieces of Dvorak are fantastic, not to forget Berlioz, Sibelius and Debussy and and and.... Did you ever listen to Nigel Kennedy? A sensitive rebel and on the violin (of course not everybody's darling...).
But I am a music maniac and love different stuff. An interesting thing is CAMILLE: "Le fil", it is French (perhaps) Jazz; she took one tone (le fil) and performs with her voice pieces around that, very few instruments. Stefano di Battista's "Parker's Mood" is really fine for dreaming, relaxing, playing online bridge or whatever. And good old QUEEN: hmmmmm

My favourite CD is "A Night At The Opera". I better stop now, n8
