This is a special category of Classical Music from the " Baroque " era . For me it is a " Hobby " , but the majority of " Classical music " lovers would not really like it . So it is difficult to recommend . And for true lovers of this genre of music there is no need to recommend ! All amatter of taste . But worth trying it.
