I quite like classical music, and I love the classical guitar. Julian Bream and Andres Sergovia are the equals of Skip James and Son House, in my view - and praise does not come much higher. I like the popular classics - Holst's planets' suite, Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez, Vaughan Williams' Greensleves and Thomas Tallis, Beethoven's 6th, Mozart's 21st, Elgars Nimrod and certain parts of that Cello Concerto, and many others. A lot of good stuff, although like all other types of music, a lot of it is rubbish and over rated.
