People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles which are at variance, fo...

I would like to follow up with my initial post. The last nigh I went to NY’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center to hear the Spivakov NPoR. I have great sit (Orchestra RowM, center, 3 sits on the left – perfect for piano concertos). Funny: ahead of m...

OK I misunderstood. I do wonder if it is a bit of an artifact of the old Soviet policy in education of "inducing" students to go into certain fields. In other words, I wonder if the current generation of acoustic scientists in Russia and East Europe ...
