My father has always had a great love of classical music. Some of my fondest memories as a child, was sitting with him, listening to his favourites. Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Dvořák’s, Mozart, Chopin, and Wagner were staples of our daily classical diet. He was a member of a record club who used to mail a vinyl monthly to home on a trial basis. If you didn’t like it, you could send it back, but that of course never happened.
The world’s greatest labels including Deutsche Grammophon, Decca Records, Blue Note, Verve, ECM and Eloquence all became part of the pantheon of our home music library. From Tchaikovsky’s Violin op 35 through to Dvořák’s New World Symphony Number Nine, our home was awash with beautiful music.
But sadly, that appeared to be from a bygone era, with the disappearance of classical music retailers continuing in Australia.
