I was just wondering if you have attended live orchestral performances in recent time or played any vinyl of orchestral performances......... Something tells me that the ill effects of the digitization of recorded music (RFI, lack of resolving of players in a large orchestra) is what made you disinterested in orchestral music.
I only say this because I personally find digitization often makes orchestral music sound "boring".......... (A really good DAC would reduce this effect, but there are so few really good DACs. There are some conductors, most notably Sir Georg Solti, whose reputations were extremely high prior to the digital age, but took a huge hit since music became digitized.) And I've known several other people who became disinterested in classical music since 1990, after digitized music replaced analog recording as the mainstream norm. (Although they all vehemently deny it was the digitization that caused them to be disinterested.) But I don't ever recall anyone expressing such lost of interest prior to 1985.
I did know one person who lost interest in music altogether, and suddenly so, roughly ten years ago. He now thinks a mild stroke caused it. Though there were no other outward signs of him having one.
