I was not exposed to classicaL music at home, with the exception of the Lone Ranger on radio.
My first real taste of it came in grammar school, then in...wait for it...cartoons!

I can't say I like all classical music, in fact, much of it bores me, and I can not abide sopranos, and worst of all,the coloratura. They remind me of the old Mainers description of the bagpipes. He said "They sound like someone gathered up a dog fight, and threw it into a pig pen."
Like Al, I'm not trashing someone elses opinion of this music, I'm only saying I don't like it.
