Trying to work my way through the thread and get back into classical after buying a turntable and discovering just how cheap/good a lot of old classical recordings are. I grew up in Suzuki and got overexposed to the point where I listened to very little classical for the last 20 years. But random timely question: whats everyone's favorite classical Christmas music and or recording thereof? I'm looking for some intereing stuff that is more in line with a choir in a rennaisance church than the pops orchestra playing jingle bells.

And Harlem nutcracker is one of my favorite Christmas albums.

Update: XM's online-only Holiday Pops channel is surprisingly good.

Perhaps a dumb question: I found a playlist of Mozart's complete works in chronological order by Kochel number and am listening to it because why not. So far have made it to K67, and while it's all incredibly impressive from a composer who isn't even shaving yet, it's also pretty bland and undifferentiated. Is there a relatively distinct point in the chronology where things start to get more unique and interesting, or is it just a slow build and I should shut up and enjoy the ride.

Yeah, if I keep doing this harebrained gimmick, its going to be background music while I work until something catches my ear. I'm coming at this more from a "Pokémon: gotta catch em all" mindset than trying to broaden my horizons of music. It just kind of struck me that Mozart has 626 works and in more than 4 decades of listening to and playing classical music I've come across maybe 20% of them. Which is probably true of every composer I like. But they don't have a convenient numbered catalog created by completist nerds that ensures scraps of music they composed when they were 5 are available as streaming recordings in my pocket 250 years later.

RIP to a real one: https://www.classical-scene.com/2024/01/17/peter-schickele-88/ The obits are naturally more focused on PDQ Bach, but if you're old enough (and enough of a nerd), his Schickele Mix on public radio was probably more important to you.
