It's interesting what you're both saying about classical music. I wonder if it's a lot more common experience than what people may recognise. I am pretty much the same way, I have always liked classical music but never really developed a good appreciation for it until I knew of other musical artists who were classically trained
and Falken, Harpsichord compostitions are great to listen to...I love the sound of the harpsichord, at the moment though I am more into choral/vocal stuff...currently listening to a recording of Benedictine Monks performing vocal compositions from the 13th/14th century
