When I was little, we used to have a large collection of classical compilations, each comprising works from one artist, which would be put on every now and again. Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Handel (and a collection of various other baroque works), etc. It wasn’t until I got older and gave personal attention to those composers as well as discovering the works of Saëns, Sibelius, Wagner, Vivaldi, Prokofiev, and Brahms, that I developed a love of classical music.
But I suppose that’s what got me into classical; the classics.
