i once listened to a talk where the speaker argued that classical music per se does not exist.
and i believe he is right. what we think of as classical music is very much defined by how it is played. the choice of instruments etc. many film scores sound like classical music, but they surely aren't. heck even heavy metal sounds like classic if played by a string quartet. and i bet you wouldn't immideately recognize a classical piece if played by a rock band.
