I do not mean to disrupt the thread's attention to the purveyors of 
"non-music", but that's not quite what I mean - or what Klaus sells - as 
soft classics. Lots of baroque concerti, romantic-era chamber music, 
piano sonatas, that sort of thing. Rather short of a Mahler symphony in 
scope, but even at one movement at a time, something close to real music.
