But having been to a number of live performances, and listening via last FM, I like to do crazy things (Last fm doesn't allow this anymore, but they once did) like set up a channel with Classical music and modern DJ Food style stuff together.

I enjoy Beethoven, Holst and Motzart. I am captivated by Barber's adagio every time I hear it. I love the power of Carl Orf. Baroque always interested me, and love the energy and passion of the Youth Orchestra of Venezuela normally conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and his curls which seem to have a life of their own - he brings the style or a rock star to conducting.

I sometimes wish I knew more, but I generally like to use "artists like" and other tags on lastfm, without really learning the names of composers or performers much. I really should get to know it better.
