Long ago I loved symphony orchestras, heard Philadelphia under Ormany, BSO under Leinsdorf, etc. But I seldom listen to orchestras today, not even recordings. It is just too much for me.Maybe it is my age, maybe that I have not lived in a city for many years, so my life is quieter. I much prefer sonatas, solos, occasionally a duet, trio or quartet. More musicians do not increase my enjoyment/appreciation. And "modern" music does not reach me.
As for rock n roll, I still love it, but not often. New Years Eve comes but once a year.
I still listen to some folk/pop, live is very good. Recordings are mostly to learn new songs to play.
I do love Hawaiian slack key, but have stopped trying to play it since my teacher died.
If I could actually play classical music, that would be my preference.
