It may be even more complicated than what has been discussed so far. A key phrase is "Russian immigrants". Quite a few Russians emigrated to Israel under false pretenses claiming to be Jewish when they were not. Giving Israel's limited resources it would not be unreasonable for such people to lose t...

So far from the truth, GK. It's a problem I encounter with the Haydn/Mozart symphony club: the variations between symphonies are quite limited compared to 20th century composers. But with Ralph Vaughan Williams, there can be no doubt about the composer's versatility or ability to shape the musical ...

Re: The Bland Leading the Bland
People here often complain about music that is excessively dry and thorny. How about music that is so bland, it brings to mind a very harsh description of some of Rimskii-Korsakov's less effective music: silken sound totally devoid of content? I was so boiling mad after having wasted an entire hour...

You listed soprano Margaret Tynes as born in 1929. Although several web sites give this incorrect date, the diva, who lives in my residential community, was actually born in 1919.
I work hard to check up on you. Not really, but I did some Google research on Margaret and came across this item.
