That's good to hear. I'll give just about anything a chance, myself, even if I don't really enjoy it. It always surprises me how visceral some people's negative reactions to things are. This is on another topic, but you were asking about Asian lieder a while back, and I found out that Yasushi Akutagawa wrote a number of songs for voice and piano. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any recordings that I could find. Nothing on Amazon.co.jp. His opera, L'Orphee de Hiroshima, has a recording, though.
