I'm a fan of classical music. I used to play piano when I was young, and discovered a lot of composers that way. We had an LP called A Child's Introduction to the Great Composers, with thirty short selections from Bach to Bartok, arranged by Mitch Miller. We bought a whole lot of classical LPs, and Deutsche Grammophon tended to be the best. (We had a whole series with titles like Bach's Greatest Hits, Beethoven's Greatest Hits, etc.)
One branch of classical music I especially like is opera. When I was little we had the three-LP album Royal Family of the Opera. My favorite cut was Nikolai Ghiaurov singing "Le Veau d'Or" from Gounod's Faust.
