The perfect kindergarten for a classical music education

""Hooked on Classics" is a very important album to me. I began listening to it, on vinyl, when I was five or six years old. I bought my first "whole" album when I was about twelve (it was Gershwin). I am twenty-two, and currently using Amazon.com to search for a lot of the music I came to know from "Hooked..." I don't think I'd be the same person, artistically, if it weren't for my introduction to classical music with this album.Sure, some people may resent the electronic, metronome beat that keeps most of the music on the same rhythm, but I don't. For me, I liked the way dozens of different suites, overtures, and symphonies were assembled brilliantly into nine tracks. If there are seams showing, I can't see them."
