The LAPO and 'crossover'

I only came back here to point out to you that major inconsistency; your own use of the word "philistine" in the same sentence as "Vienna". Brave.

And I call as witness the experiences of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner, Mahler, Wolf, Schönberg, Webern, Berg ...

Sithee.

I think the problem, if I may say so, Ferney, is that you are much too subtle and understated for 'Krystal', who clearly has no knowledge of the negative experiences endured by those great composers.

Not so fast!! In your wildest imagination do you think these composers would have flourished amid philistines? And don't try and pretend you weren't referring to modern day Vienna.

Yep, I'd feel stupid like you should if I'd said that too.

Meanwhile, I've got to book my ticket post haste to Huddersfield - the centre of the cultural universe.
