"I really can't get into classical."
I was definitely into classical, and jazz, from grade school, listening to Kuhn's "Symphony For Blues" and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue", Al Hirt, Doc Severinsen, etc. But I'd always had an indifference to "chamber music". You know, trios, quartets, quintets, yada-yada. Until...
As the Tonmeister student in Montreux in 1974, where part of my studies was to record recitals - typically three or four a week. Several of the visiting artists performed Schubert's Quintet in C, Op. 163. Peter Guth on violin, Bruno Giurana or Bruno Pasquier on viola, Dimitry Markevitch on cello, and I don't remember who the other two were. For whatever reason, that evening the light bulb went on, and I've been a chamber music fan ever since.
It could happen to you, too! :)
