this extensive live recording series with Leon Botstein conducting the American SO has many excellent recordings. Well worth investigating.

Classical........
Surely no one actually listens to this pretentious shit ....it's only heavy metal done wrong.
Or am I missing something.....?
Don't get me wrong, I have tried, tried, and thrice tried to embrace the old poop, but I don't get it.
Could someone please recommend a classical album for beginners.......Ta.
(Must include The William Tell overture, cause that rocks)

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Guess that could be said about most music, depending on your likes. Bar oldie blues of course...

I hate most jazz.
I wouldn't call it pretentious shit, though.
Although undoubtedly some of it is.

I've had the CD of this recording for decades.
One of my favourite fairly laidback chamber music listens.
Bernard Herrmann's clarinet quintet and string quartet.

I think you need to consider the context, classical music was effectively the pop music of its day, using instruments of the time, primarily wriiten and performed for the privileged. Folk music was the people’s music. If you consider say Vivaldi concertos or Mozart sometimes they were expressing a feeling or a piece of poetry, or landscape. Other pieces being just wriiten to entertain. Later symphonies came which you can consider expressionist. Beethoven being a great exponent of these.
If you want an easy start try the Four Season by Vivaldi. If you listen carefully you will get it, there are parts of the music representing birds and animals, a good copy will have a synopsis or look it up on line.
Another stunner is Beethoven’s symphony number 5.
Most music if not all is an expression of human condition, feelings or what we see, even pop although sometimes it is purely commercial and trite. There is good and bad in all genres, but I would not discount any of it as you may very well miss out on something that is excellent.
