For something different, the Schumann Violin Concerto is well worth a go in my opinion. The second movement a gem.

I think studying the Haydn Trumpet Concerto in my teens put me off for life. But will give it another go. I struggled with Bruckner and Wagner for years too. Happily though found a way through to connect. Got to find the tracks that have that emotional resonance.

Studied this for A level music a looong time ago. Reckon the LSO version a gem. And of course has the cracking Festive Overture on the same album. But the Boston recording terrific too.

Really struggle to love Haydn. Maybe worth another go??
