In Reply to: Can you remember the first piece of classical music that left an impression and how old were you? posted by Frank Waller on December 4, 2002 at 08:02:46:
It was hit in the UK charts when I was 10ish.
Decades later, thankfully, the film Amadeus was able to redress the balance and I can even enjoy a good rendition of #40 (Pinnock/ECO).Also, I remember that between programs on schools TV there was a one minute analog clock count down accompanied by Handel's 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba'.
