They don't call it "classical" for nothing. By 30 I had almost given up on music, but by accident I discovered the Renaissance/medieval revival and it's stayed with me since. Music from an age where filth, disease and famine showed themselves in hard, unyielding contrast to the beauty, and the wonder, and the mystery of Art.
I grew up enjoying classical music and also some jazz and various ethnic music from around the world. I generally don’t care for electric guitars, synthesizers, etc. I remember as a teenager and young adult going to a concert and just taking in some great work. Or going to a concert of Spanish Renaissance music or traditional Chinese music or sometimes jazz. I had and have a lot to enjoy musically. I remember hearing people talk about which “Top Forties” radio station they liked the best and I would think, “there is a big world out there, why be limited to that?”
