Classical music presents some of the world's most challenging pieces.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Classical music is something that we're very passionate about, but we always thought it was presented in a stuffy way.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
It's interesting about classical music that the more you hear something, the more you get to know a piece, the better and better it gets, period, which is just an interesting thing on it.
When I'm in the classical world, I really treat it as exactly classical and I don't try and spruce it up or jazz it up or make it easier for the masses.
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.
New music is absolutely integral to classical music.
And what classical music does best and must always do more, is to show this kind of transformation of moods, to show a very wide psychological voyage. And I think that's something that we as classical musicians have underestimated.
I definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.
Classical music can rock you!
I abhor the words 'classical music.' Few things satisfy me more than a really good cover version.
