I get all of the above (except maybe the last one) and I think you have expressed it beautifully Luka.
Maybe it's just semantics but I don't see a difference between total immersion in a record and enjoying it.
I also do really think it is possible to immerse yourself in music from any period although it can be a stretch or require learning or ageing or something. It's one of the compensations for being older.
I can definitely picture a time in the future when I'll be an old duffer who gets ASBOs for blaring out Opera or something and completely ecstatically losing myself in that.
There is a barrier but you can break through it sometimes.
