Despite loving music I wouldn't say that any music has changed my life in the way that, say, getting married or moving house or contracting a serious illness could be said to be life-changing events. I haven't heard every contribution but I expect a lot of them have been variations of "a piece that I first heard as a child and sparked my interest in/love of music".

The BBC denies it's targeting the Classic FM audience. That may be true: they may be targeting other listeners but not have a very good aim.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Point of information: Is Johann Strauss II referred to ever as Johann Sebastian Strauss (he appears to have been Johann Baptist acc. to Wiki)? That's a new one for the auto generated playlists.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
