Lev, I too have begun a quest to listen to more classical music. My question is in "understanding" classsical. Do we have to be musicians, which I am not,to understand this art? And if as a "non-musician" can I truly appreciate the music? And in reading classical reviews it occurs to me that I don't know what the hell they're talking about. It sounds more like a wine review rather than a music review. That said, I seem to gravitate towards the Baroque and Chamber music, as that seems to be more palpable, I guess because it's less "complicated" and a little more rythmic; i.e. you can actually whistle it. But I'll keep reading and listening because it is truly beautiful music and well worth sinking your teeth into.
A merlot will do til I can appreciate the cabernets.
