I like classical music, but I'm not going to only listen to classical, that makes me depressed!

Disclaimer: I'm a professional musician who works in an orchestra.

I absolutely detest any music before about 1840. It's dry, non-chromatic, and incredibly predictable.

After 1840, I'd still rather listen to jazz....

Whenever I need to unwind or get the world out of my brain after a chaotic
day at work I listen to J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) as interpreted
the late Glenn Gould. I have both of his recordings, the 1955 debut and his last
1981 recording made shortly before he died.
I also find Eric Satie's piano pieces to be very relaxing to listen to.

Personally, I'm a fan of Telemann, Shostakovich, Gershwin, and Holzt. I also listen to a lot of old military marches and what not. Especially when I'm playing one of my video games and also when I play flames of war. I burned a cd of British, Italian, American, and German marches when I bring my Desert Rats out to ride.

Classical music has its place. It just returned as the primary format on a public radio station in my area. I’m sure I’ll be listening to it when I want to put all current mental calamidies out of mind. It’s interesting, without vocals that can incite bad feelings.
