Thread Name: I Hate the Sound..of 'classically trained' singers
Subject: RE: I Hate the Sound...
Perhaps it is a generation thing.

Or perhaps not. I'm 66 and have spent 40+ years playing all sorts of music from Music Hall to Funk - with everything in between. Why should age be an indicator? My father was mad for Glenn Miller's music, as were many of his generation, and I grew up with it as constant background music. I can virtually whistle every one of Miller's hits, from "American Patrol" to "Moonlight Serenade"!

Patsy - try a little experiment: find yourself a copy of Pavarotti singing "Panis Angelicus" - you can get it on Spotify as a solo version - and sit down with a cup of whatever you like, relax - and just let the sound waft over you.

You may still dislike it, or not be interested in it after the listening - but you might actually find something you like in it. You never know.
