Interesting question, and I think you will get a different answer from each artist.
For me, too much sound can interfere with concentration. I can't stand hearing voices sometimes - too much to process. Sometimes no music will do, if the area is tricky and I really need to think. Of classical, preferance is classical guitar, and especially familiar pieces, so that the music will stay in the background and not intrude. Similarly, Mozart works well. Something with a steady rise and fall. No musical "storms" for me, so no opera , no Beethoven or other Romantic pieces.
But, on the other hand, music had a big part in an experiment I did a while back with abstract art, in which the art was based on the music. The rhythm and coloration, all of it needed little planning and apparently fell into place subconciously, influenced by what was being heard. But, sorry, that music wasn't classical - it was jazz.
