More barminess from Norm.

So Beyonce is related to Mahler. How "astonishing"

"I opened the paper this morning and found a short sentence misquoting me, right beneath the boobs".

How unspeakably awful that poor Norman - a model of scholastic fidelity and accuracy - should be misrepresented in this way.

Probably the best place for Lebrecht's utterances though - next to the other t*ts.

Well, I know all about misquotations from journalists , but:

"[...] my book, Why Mahler?

As a condition of the interview, he promised to mention the book [...]

That's what you get, Norman ...

Priceless, Taps. Thanks for cheering my Monday afternoon !

<Mahler was born a Jew but converted to catholicism to get the job of the director of the Vienna Court Opera.>

Ooooh, the scheming, self-serving little fraud ...
