Last few years I’ve started listening to classical music. Of an evening both me and DP enjoy sitting reading with Classic fm in the background (which I appreciate isn’t especially high brow but has been a great introduction to different composers etc).
Bridgewater hall in Manchester has the Halle playing Handel’s Messiah in December. I actually enjoyed listening to a gospel version years ago and have heard snippets of the original but not the full version. Would it be a good introduction to classical concerts ? A friend went to a Holst concert a few weeks ago and enjoyed it but the conductor did warn the audience that it wasn’t an ‘easy’ piece to listen to….
