Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
We do a lot of light classical programming with that, too... obviously... a lot of Tchaikovsky music, Grieg, things like that which have become less classical with classical concerts.
To be involved with movies that become kind of cult classics... I've been very fortunate. 'The Warriors' is certainly a cult classic, and 'Xanadu' is, to a certain degree, a cult classic as well.
I've worked with some great orchestras and amazing classical musicians, but I don't like the conceptualization of classical music as an elitist form of art.
But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does, whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.
Actually, I've had very little classical training, although I love listening to classical music very much.
Right now I'm listening to a lot of different things but I listen to a lot of classical music. Eventually I would like to compose and perform classical.
We have to go and show these people what classical music is. We say sometimes that classical music has a small audience, but it's because people don't have the chance to be closer to it.
Classical music only really came into my life in 1969. I wish I had heard classical music and church music when I was a teenager or even as a child.
I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.
It takes a classic to recognize a classic.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.
Driss: [after listening to classical music] We listened to your classics. Now it's time to listen to mine. [plays Earth Wind & Fire]
You know I'm a bit of a dag because I listen to classical music. I recently bought myself an iPod and downloaded every piece of classical music that I had access to onto that.
When I listen to music today, it is about 99 percent classical. I rarely even listen to folk music, the music of my own specialty, because folk music is to me more limited than classical music.
New music is absolutely integral to classical music.
I tend to listen to the classical composers: Rachmaninov, Satie.
Classical music can rock you!
I listen to old jazz and classical music, and that's it.
I also like Western classical music and jazz.
