the children's lack of exposure or opportunity to experience such things. At around 8 yrs old I was taken to a special matinee given by the Halle orchestra with Sir Malcolm Sergeant conducting Peter And The Wolf and The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, spending the whole time mesmerized. I remember so well the timbre of the instruments which at that age I found a delight. It has had a profound effect and affect upon me ever since. Perhaps that's the key as people now seem shielded from the profound.
