I am, but symphonies tend to be too technical for me to understand.

You don't have to understand music (although knowing about music theory and all that certainly adds another level of enjoyment), you listen, feel and have fun.

Yeah, I can't play but for me classical music is all about just lying back and letting it wash over you. I wouldn't criticise classical in the same way as I would, say, power metal or soul: it's above that. These are masters, after all, and criticism of them is almost redundant. So even if I review a classical album (and I have a few) I concentrate just on telling the reader what the music sounds like, rather than saying something like "Oh an oboe would have been good here" or "He should have played this in C Minor instead". What the **** do I know about how classical music was played? Like they used to say in the Kit-Kat ad, just enjoy it!
