Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini; apparently these are marketing gimmicks more than anything else.Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-81425897066997451742011-03-02T15:17:21.106-08:002011-03-02T15:17:21.106-08:00Thanks for your explanation and wishes.

So while I am criticizing, I don't mean it personally, but simply wishing to elevate the level of discourse of music in our culture. I am not trying to take a position of authority but, as is always our goal at this site, simply wish to start the discussion, even if somewhat inarticulately. So in that spirit, please feel free to disagree. <br /><br />I do wish you the best in your future reviews.<br /><br />-GustavGustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-39677427056475407852011-02-28T20:50:14.580-08:002011-02-28T20:50:14.580-08:00Hi Gustav,

Vague, fluffy descriptions that could apply to anything, praise heaped upon adulation heaped upon praise, and not a trace of copy editing anywhere in sight.<br /><br />It's got a good beat but you can't dance to it, as a wise man once said.Sator Arepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006808744513156317noreply@blogger.com
