Classical music newbie needs your suggestions

@frogman - glad you weighed in, I was kind of waiting for a post from you here. Happy Schwanzsa!

I got into Classical about half a century ago, and some of the stuff that hooked me in does do much for me now, perhaps due to over familiarity.  The OP is retirement age so I am not sure what appealed to me as a teenager would work for him.  Again, the radio is your friend…

I like classical music because it can bring people together to solve Riddles and provide a sense of enjoyment and relaxation.

Hey 1111art,  How are you? It's me again with A superior suggestion For enjoying opera again. It's a recording called "Puccini Gold". It's recorded with some of the Greatest opera stars of all time!!! Believe me it will re-stimulate your opera senses. As far as  I know, It's only available on streaming and CD. If you system is good, you'll be transfigured and sent straight to heaven.

If you have any Mozart Opera by the Drottningholm Opera company, listen to it. If you don't, look for it.
