Like some of Stravinsky’s music — so nice, Callas recollected (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neoclassical

'like some of stravinsky's music' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'so nice callas recollected' is the wordplay.
'recollected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'so'+'nice'+'callas'='sonicecallas'
'sonicecallas' anagrammed gives 'NEOCLASSICAL'.

(Another definition for neoclassical that I've seen is " In a revived style from the past".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
