Around 1960 I joined the Columbia Record Club. One of my selections was Ormandy conducting the Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony. That was a rather heavy choice for someone knowing nothing about classical music at the time.

Soon after that I began to explore Baroque due to similarities to the jazz I mainly listened to. Over the years I expanded my limited knowledge with other classical periods, and I retained a fondness for Rachmaninov.
