Profile: Born February 1953
I had no interest in classical music (or any other type) until, aged 18, a chance encounter with repeated exposure to the last movement of Rachmaninov's 2nd PC switched on something in my brain that had lain dormant.
I was at University then studying Mathematics, and had access to a large library of classical LP's, and over the three years that I was there I absorbed information like a sponge.
Buy the time I left,I had decided likes and dislikes, and these have not changed.
Likes: Most music dating from post 1850, especially British Music.
Dislikes: Most music dating from pre 1850 + atonal, Jazz, Heavy Metal, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Indie, Punk, Grime, Garage, Rap etc
