Ok, this is probably a first for me.
When my stepdad passed, several boxes of assorted stuff went into my brother's loft. Now he is moving house so having a clearout. Hundreds of books, CDs, records, DVDs. Very little that i would give house room to (never heard of The Kaye Sisters, but a shitload of 7" singles).
All of it is going to the charity shop, but I kept back a few classical CDs on Deutsche Gramophone label. I randomly picked this one first - I actually recognise a lot of what's on it, so may keep it.
As for the rest, we'll see.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF
A/V:
LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub
Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

Next one: I recognise this too - perhaps my stepdad just went with 'popular' classical.

Steve - I would encourage you to listen to a few more of the classical CDs. It's a huge genre, and you may find some surprises and likes amongst them.Ok, this is probably a first for me.

Like you I was never much interested in classical music, but that changed in my 30s, now it forms the largest part of my music collection.

Thanks Barry, I certainly will be keeping the rest of these CDs - I now have a grand total of eight! But the first two I played I found enjoyable in their quite different ways. And it helped that my set up seemed to like the genre, sounding somehow relaxing and dynamic! I wasn't expecting that...
But I do expect at some point that I will find I prefer some recordings to others, and could then build on those preferences. With your help of course
