All the classical genres are now ridiculous in their rigorous purity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
New music is absolutely integral to classical music.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
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.
I detest this contemporary trend to destroy the traditional hierarchy of genres.
It's not that people don't like classical music. It's that they don't have the chance to understand and to experience it.
I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
I have loads of issues with the way classical music is presented. It has been too reverential, too 'high art' - if you're not in the club, they're not going to let you join. It's like The Turin Shroud: don't touch it because it might fall apart.
I abhor the words 'classical music.' Few things satisfy me more than a really good cover version.
