I'm a complete dilletante when it comes to classical music and I don't really listen to much. I own that "Classical Barbra" album by Streissand and think that it is very good, even though I dislike everything else she's done. I don't know if those songs are old enough to count as modern or old... but I like them a lot. Then there's that classical Tori Amos album from 2011, Night of Hunters. Love that one with a vengeance! I belive that is some quite old compositions that were rearranged for vocal by Amos.
Other than that, orchestral music from video games (Odin Sphere for example) and movies is what I can say I like.
I guess that means I agree somewhat with you, since I don't really like the old, usual suspects like Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Stravinsky, etcetera.
