I have recently started to include classical music to this my catalogue of music. Since the catalogue is album based, a classical section requires a few alterations, which will take some time to complete. In the classical section each work will be treated as an album, e.g. Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 1 will be an album. The focus will be on the composers and their works regardless of performing conductors and orchestras. I have so far only entered a few symphonies by some of the greatest composers, to have something to work with. This means that there probably will be a few bugs and inconsistencies throughout the site, until I have it all sorted out.
