Probably the closest thing to "Classical" that I like is Stockhausen although I have a LOT of Mozart in my music folder for Orbiter.

I should've mentioned my dad but I'm being modest

I grew up in the family of a professional musician, that's pretty much the only thing he's been doing for a living while I've been around. He's a classically-trained acoustic guitarist, but plays all sorts of stuff. So via him, I've got a massive fill of everything from classical and flamenco to blues and rock to his own avant-garde sort of stuff.

We've had a couple of musicians in our family, but the seriousness didnt really extend past it being a hobby. My father plays and sings famous country music, and has made some good money in pubs around the area, my sister used to play piano, and I'm teaching myself keyboards and experimenting with sounds.

However, I'd love to downsize my current keyboard. A nice desktop MIDI controller would be lovely.

I like classical music as well as some modern pieces.

just to name few:
Rammstein,
Nightwish,
Max Raabe (for a party his not so quite serious interpretations are just great ) ,
Tim Fischer
some older American and French tunes,
I like some old jazz to so some tunes in GWX are quite much to my taste.

However, above any and all I prefer the early Baroque music, with pieces composed by such artists like Arcangelo Corelli, Manfredini, Torelli, or Abel.
Quite recently, I `ve found an absolutely stunnig music of one composer forgotten for a very long time: Henrico Albicastro, or, if you like his original name, Jochann von Weissenburg. His Concerti a Quattro Op7 are just most damn impressive piece of classical music I`ve heard for a long time. They are absolutely surprising.
Besides, I like captain Tobias Hume`s Musikall Humours and some songs by John Dowland. Additionally, I`m still discovering the French schold of viola da gamba, represented by Marin Marais, Monsieur de Sainte Colombe, Francois Couperin et consortes.

One of those occassions where the tune just clicks

I have a recording of Pictures at an Exhibition, performed by Vladimir Ashkenazy on piano, as was the original. Absolutely impressive, much more than the orchestral version.

'Pictures At An Exhibition'.....I was thinking of Emerson Lake and Palmer
