I asked Carter to send me a list of "must haves" to start my classical music collection, er, this morning. Well about an hour later, this was in my inbox:
ON I-TUNES STORE (plug these phrases into the search field):
Mendelssohn Symphony No. 4 Abbado
**take the first four tracks in the list from this search**
Mendelsshon Midsummer Scherzo
**take the sixth track down in the list from this search**
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition Gergiev
**take this entire album**
Beethoven Symphony No. 5 Kleiber
**click on the black album up top... Carlos Kleiber conducting**
buy whole album
Holst: the Planets Colin Davis
**buy the Colin Davis album of The Planets**
John Adams The Chairman Dances de Waart
**buy this album**
------
I don't know how versed you are in this classical stuff, but I can blindly guarantee that this is a great launch pad for starting your own classical collection. Listen. We're learning from someone who "knows".
