Western Classical Music
Everyone knows Wong Jim’s love knew no bounds. Few know he actually loved classical more than pop music. This habit was passed on him by young Wong Jum-sum. In the 1950s, most common people were searching for their first love, Western classical music was for them a novel but exciting acquaintance. Radio broadcast of classical music exhibited the same open-hearted sentiment, experimenting with repertoires, trying out tunes from everywhere and nowhere, gleefully taking in the Austro-Germanic mainstream and the Franco-Spanish subcurrents, while reserving a place for the Soviet military brass bands as well.
