Default Re: On Nirvana as a catalyst

The only classical album on the list are Andrea Bocelli and Phantom of the Opera

No Bach. No Beethoven. No Mahler.

Just some pop crossover dude who opera fans don't even consider a real opera singer. And a Broadway musical that includes synthesized drums.

There'll be those who say that it's the crossover people who can turn non-classical fans into classical fans. I disagree. If you want to introduce someone to classical music, have them listen to real classical music, not classical-lite.
