Classical Listeners, what is good these days?

This piece is taken from "Suite in the Old Style" by Alfred Schnittke, a 20th-century Russian composer of German-Jewish descent. This clip shows the performers in action-

The clip below is just the audio, but it's a sweet rendition from a recording released by Daniel Hope and Alexey Botvinov in 2021.

Modern classical composers such as Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds and Philip Glass are good listening options.

I don't know this, what an amazing catchy tune. I wonder if Mozart drew any inspiration from it. Best I had listen to Rameau.

I recently saw this performance on the harpsichord on one forum - no one named the composer correctly) Although, if you look on the net, some Russian musicians know this work.
There is a lot of good music, and that’s good)

20th century music is hardly classical.
It's barely old enough to be considered retro.

Here is some old school rock n' roll:

This 12th century gem, is still being sung on the Faroe Islands.

Edited: who is the woman in the background in the first video? Why is she just sitting there?
If she is a page turner... Why not just use some type of computer or tablet?
It's weird that she is just sitting there, doing nothing.

I appreciate your suggestion.

W-e-l-l, @NaturalBornTraveller , I guess it depends on whether we are using a broad or narrow definition of classical music then, lol. I believe this music in post #12 would be included in a broad definition. But I have no idea why that girl was sitting there. My guess is that she was a page-turner who forgot to leave for this performance in which her help was unnecessary.

On another note, the song you posted is actually pretty cool! I had never seen that type of folk dance before.
