i like baroque concertoes like bach + telemann + albinoni cos it's kinda like pop music, w/ standard format + stuff that they bend + shape but keep recognisable ... good tunes too

opera? tough, but love love love the overwhelming dramatic end bits of Wagner (largely where they stop singing!) ... end of "tristan + isolde" frinstance

renaissance chjoral music always hits the spot, esp english stuff for me ... tallis's "spem in alium" is mindbending

c20 french guys = satiue, debussy, ravel, poulenc ... ususally pretty cool (poulenc a little patchy for me, mind)

vaughan williams i love ... real british vibe ... "tallis fantasia" = yeah!

mozart so so uplifting + FUN + full of ideas, but can't get to the operas (yet?)

morton feldman, lou harrison are cool (often full of tunes too, which may take you by surprise)... cage too of course

i had some arvo part on the other night ... "spiegel im spiegel" i love, prob cos i'm a moron

stockhausen in 50s/60s/70s, blah blah ... hell "gesang der jungliche" is unstoppably great

all the minnimalists are great, bar philip glass (altho i think i heard some eearly gl;ass that was good once) ... terry riley, especially

i kinda get bored when classical music really becomes Romantic, y;know? after mozart + before, say, ravel, i often have "difficulty" ... maybe i shd give beethoven a whirl sometime again?
