Subject: RE: BS: You are a student of what things?
I would never turn off Vivaldi. There was a really wacky, jazzy take on the Four Seasons on the radio last week that yer man would surely have loved! On balance, I suppose I focus more on Mozart onwards, but that's just me. The rewards and riches to be won from delving into classical music are boundless. And the boundaries are quite fuzzy these days.

Radio Three had a huge great long section on Saturday morning about film and show music, and I came away thinking how well-crafted the music is. There's no law that says you have to enjoy everything, but it's good to acknowledge the craft and care that usually goes to any music, even a few pop songs I could name!
