Though no great music lover as a math/science nerdy boy, I grew up on Rachmaninoff: My mother was classically trained, and played him, her favorite, every day. When she wasn’t playing him, she was playing Van Cliburn playning him.
Ironically, I am now a semi-professinal musician (choral, especially period a cappella. Life is strange.
