What classical music did Michael listen to?

[lavitaebella]

As we've all read, Michael were gonna make an album with classical music.

But what has he ever said he listened to? I've read he liked Peter and the wolf and the nutcracker, but what else has he mentioned?

I hope soo bad they'll release his classical work!!

Accordig to David Michael Frank his favorites were:
"Aaron Copland’s Rodeo, Fanfare for the Common Man and Lincoln Portrait; Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story. I mentioned Bernstein's On the Waterfront. Then Michael mentioned that he loved Elmer Bernstein's film music, too, and he specifically mentioned To Kill a Mockingbird."
