I find I like jazz - especially the earlier 50s-60s stuff because it strikes me as richly patterned, and it defies quick memorization like Bach or Mozart. Early Miles Davis (before he knew he was the second Coming) tickles my fancy.
Strangely I've never cottoned to Mozart. For some reason his stuff hits me as trite and syrupy. go figger. Maybe when I'm 60 I'll listen with a fresh ear and see waht I've been missing. But in the meantime, I think that Igor Stravinsky is the singular pinnacle of auditory culture.
Of course that's the kind of intense, quasi-chaotic music that Christine has developed an allergy to. My recco for softer, gentler yet melodically wondrous music is Ravel. Bolero. Le Tombeau de Couperin. Anything but the Concerto for the Left Hand, which is a bit darker and more urgent in its tone. Predictably, I love it.
