My mother was an opera singer and my grandmother a concert pianist, and they only liked classical music. If I put on a pop record, they would tell me to turn it off, so I only listen to classical.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old.
We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives.
I didn't grow up with classical music. My father was a folk music singer.
Classical music has become rarefied, like a maiden aunt that nobody wants to talk to.
I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.
I enjoy all forms of music - pop, classical and opera.
I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording.
I was born out of classical music.
