This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but
Glenn Gould was my idol and piano hero when I was a kid. I was forced, luckily, at a young age into music. That music being classical. Glenn Gould used to be on CBC TV and radio occasionally when I was a kid. My mom would always shout outside or up to my bedroom, "Quick, come, Glenn Gould is on TV!!"
Also, being a huge Charlie Brown & Peanuts fan, I got to love Schroeder for obvious reasons. So with Schroeder being a huge Beethoven fan, I naturally became one as well.
For those of you that don't know, Glenn Gould was a Canadian classic pianist, but very well known during his brief time on this earth. He's probably most famous for his debut album, Bach: The Goldberg Variations, which caused some controversy for his interpretation. Some thought he was a genius, and other classical snobs thought not.
Anyhow, this is what I am listening to now.
