For me the revelation about classical music came with Scheherazade, Rimsky-Korsakov. It was a true revelation for me no doubt. The dozens of themes played in so many ways was enthralling.
Much later I was similarly enthralled at a live performance of The Miraculous Mandarin by Bela Bartok, he should be the forth B IMHO.
This is a fine example of the "genius of the masters" I was speaking of earlier.
"Bela Bartok, he should be the fourth B IMHO."
There are many who agree with you. I am one of them. 🙂

We could not get in to the actual seats but there was a grassy knoll just outside and we had blankets and laying on them listening, it was breathtaking.

I heard an amazing sampling on NPR today of a new album by a Danish group. The story was about the similarity of classical music with folk music. I'll dig around and find the name of the group and album for you, or maybe a link to NPR's story.

If you go to the link, at the top is a play button and you can listen to the story as it was presented on NPR, or you can scroll down, and in the right margin is a link to NPR's column Tiny Desk, where you can probably see a video of DSQ playing a song from the album.
