This blog is for people who want to learn to appreciate classical music. All music was chosen for accessibility and outstanding merit. Most have won awards and reflect my 60+ years of listening. Most classical music is just the popular music from the past and needs no more training to enjoy than pop music or eating ice cream. It is dedicated to Dr. Joe Stocco who mastered all western classical music by age 12 and introduced me to it when I was 13. My public playlists are on Spotify at jbritell.

TURTLE ISLAND STRING QUARTET -Spotify Playlist
The Turtle Island String Quartet is a modern popular group that plays string quartet music that is quite accessible however their sound prepares the ear to listen to modern string quartets, which sometimes aren't, as their taste in music is often midway between and close to dissonant modern music but in a nice comfortable way. So that after you listen to them a modern string quartet that might be off-putting at first hearing might be more accessible. Modern dissonant string quartets are not for anyone and usually it takes a lot of listening to all kinds of classical music before one would find them listenable but perhaps if you listen to the easy listening of the Turtle island String Quartet for a while you will be able enjoy other modern string quartets because modern dissonant classical music is an acquired taste. If you like them you might enjoy the composer Heinrich Biber circa 1680 who has a page on this site.
