I fell in love with classical (Longhair) music as a kid. I was supposed to laugh at the cartoon antics on screen but I found I liked the music!
Thanks for posting that! I have the article open in another window and I am going to listen to all of the pieces listed! :)
We have a classical radio station/show similar to that, and I always enjoy when people make requests.
When I was a youngster of 20 or so, I discovered Jean-Pierre Rampal, and his beautiful flute pieces. My favorite recording of his is ‘Claude Bolling’s Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano.’

Everything I learned about classical music I learned from cartoons.

Mozart’s symphony 25 in G minor is really mind blowing. It’s on my workout playlist.
Another favorite of mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Z7n7IwQjs
Yes, and there he was Pachelbel and his Canon in D Major!
My parents were both music lovers. They liked everything from classical to Broadway, standards, jazz, the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and other softer rock.
Whenever I heard a classical piece as a kid/teenager that peaked my interest, my parents could identify it for me and usually had a record of it.
The author was one of us nerds in high school.

I learned classical music from Bugs Bunny and Friends.
My first serious girlfriend in college was a music major studying composition. She had to learn to play every instrument imaginable. I learned an awful lot about classical music from her. Was one of the most valuable life lessons ever.
THANK You for posting this....love all the suggestions....I am sooooo tired of “country music” (I live in a small town)
Sat entranced yesterday and listed to radio broadcast of “Scheherazade” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff, performed by Dutch orchestra. Haven’t been that entranced in a long long time.
