Thank you for this little interjection of integrationist rationality, Ned. This thread was descending too deeply into a segregationist pooh-pooh-the-classical-mainstream fest for my tastes. Frankly, the whole world of academic music seems to me to be teetering on the brink of commercial collapse. We'd be better off celebrating whatever of it we like than pooh-poohing any of it.

Duke Ellington is reputed to have said: "There are only two kinds of music; good music and bad music". Playing early music on recorders and later music on the cello, I feel fortunate to have playing access to both Dufay and Dvorak.
