Paladin, I have a question for you on the "other board". I am also a lover of classical music-listen just about all the time and always when I am on the 'puter. Sony has a website called VIP where you can listen onlune after joining. Right now I am listening to Mahler's 2nd. I do believe Beethoven is the greatest composer ever (what he accomplished when deaf boggles the mind. Mozart is a close 2nd IMHO. I also enjoy Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Prokokiev, Tchaikovsky and Brahms. If anyone enjoys listening on the internet you should try my local FM station. They play full length classical selections almost all day and night. It's www.WCNY.org. Give it a try and let me know what you think. It's available worldwide. Well, I did it! This is my first post here!
