As mentioned below, my Renaissance "immersion" definitely helped me appreciate Schoenberg's "other" music.

interesting observation on Renaissance music - oldvinyl 10:46:36 10/14/20 (7)
I happen to enjoy Renaissance and other early music. My record collection has lots of the French Harmonia Mundi, DGG Archiv, and EMI Reflexe series that recorded Orlando di Lasso (Orlandus Lassus), Josquin des Prez, Michael Praetorius, Byrd, Monteverdi, Tallis, etc.

Earlier composers include Hildegard of Bingen, Martin Codax, Pierre de La Rue, Francesco Landini, Guillaume de Machaut, Jacob Obrecht, Johannes Ockeghem.

For me, this type of music requires patience to relax and let the music in. It invokes an internal mood of spaciousness and moves and morphs slowly in form. A lot of modern music strikes me the same way - I have to be patient and open to listening to it. It won't carry me off like a Schubert tune or sweep me away in Mahlerian drama.

While the mere mention of harpsichord or fortepiano on this forum raises some dust, imagine what the mention of gamba, lute, theorbo, hurdy-gurdy or oud would raise!

Enjoy the music.

      enjoy! I like Blackmore's Night only to the extent that I can imagine people with coconuts prancing around to make galloping sounds on a budget

    Will have to check out the Andreas Scholl version, his voice is perfect for that.
    Enjoy the music.
