Classical music is something that we're very passionate about, but we always thought it was presented in a stuffy way.

Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old.

A love of classical music is only partially a natural response to hearing the works performed, it also must come about by a decision to listen carefully, to pay close attention, a decision inevitably motivated by the cultural and social prestige of the art.

New music is absolutely integral to classical music.

Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.

Music has always been transnational; people pick up whatever interests them, and certainly a lot of classical music has absorbed influences from all over the world.

I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me.

Classical music's ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.

I abhor the words 'classical music.' Few things satisfy me more than a really good cover version.

The classical music world is so snobbish.
