You find yourself coming back to music you got tired of 25 or 30 years back, even longer. I have come to a new appreciation of Tchaikovsky, in particular, that way. (Late in my high school years I was a fan of Schoenberg. Webern, etc. and looked down my nose at "Romantic" music, esp. Tchaikovsky.) Same for the Beethoven symphonies. The Brahms symphonies, however, which I listened to way too much back when I was a teenager, remain pretty much a closed chapter. Can't stand 'em. I quit listening to "The Planets" about the year 1980, but with the EMI SACD on its way from Japan I am committed to giving it another chance. I had all the Boult versions on Lp that were available, and still recall buying one of them at the downtown Detroit J. L. Hudson department store. I was maybe 12 years old at the time. Funny the things you remember.
