^ Thank you very much Frownland: that is exactly the kind of classical music I can enjoy. I love the pace, the tone and the way it refrains from lurching up and down from one crescendo to the next. Obv, I haven't played it all yet, but for the first time in about forty years I'm listening to some classical music with genuine pleasure!

Frank Zappa got me into the more modern stuff with Varese name drops and The Perfect Stranger.
^ This sounds very impressive! Did you get some serious musical training then?

Have to say I like the turn of phrase that some reviewers are using:
Frown on Bach: "the jazziest mofo in the world"
Mondo on Vivaldi: "sick as f*ck"
