I don't agree with this from my own experience. To me, classical music at high compression suffers far worse than modern bands.

  My unscientific guess would be that classical music might have wider dynamic range than “normal” music. So the same compression amount affects the one with more range first (classical).

    Higher dynamic range and typically also more 'pure'. The introduced compression artifacts stand out more in simpler waveforms than in wavevorms that are an addition of many more layers of sound.

    Your guess would be correct [1]. Some samples [2]. [1] https://www.mdpi.com/2624-599X/4/3/42 https://www.mdpi.com/2624-599X/4/3/42 [2] http://www.harmjschoonhoven.com/mp3-quality.html http://www.harmjschoonhoven.com/mp3-quality.html
