Why is classical music shrinking, asks Julian Lloyd Webber? It’s our own faults. “Yes, we know that there are lots of other kinds of music apart from classical – and don’t we classical musicians fall over backwards to say how wonderful they all are – but while our children are continually being bombarded with pop music, they are also being denied a knowledge of some of mankind’s greatest creations and their adult lives will be much the poorer for it.”
