Maybe I should clarify. What I mean is the only way you get classical music now is by seeking it out on your own. And you should do that supposedly because it's good for you.
Gilbert & Sullivan and a hammy Leonard Bernstein are just the kind of thing I'm talking about that's missing. What do we have now besides Baby Mozart? And that's not even designed to help kids learn about music, it's just supposed to make them smarter by listening to it, an idea that has been soundly disproven I think.
