Awesome! Glad you dug it.
In addition to the traditional sense of rich harmonic and melodic beauty, classical music also has a lot of really dramatic and intensely heavy music. Varese and Bartok has some incredible explosive pieces that can be a game changer for some.

^ This sounds very impressive! Did you get some serious musical training then?

My parents are musicians and I was always surrounded by music. My mom gave me some rudimentary piano lessons and my dad gave me some guitar basics, but from about 10 or 11 onward I was self-taught.

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"

You might be able to say that it speaks to the timelessness of the music.
