It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: "… forgotten." Not the topic. Underrated is the contest. And I assume the original poster didn't mean

I see - so you were convinced by our discussion below and you no longer trust the critics? ;-)

If you're just talking about the classical music "consumers" among the public at large, then I would agree with you. However, many of these folks can't even remember who the soloists were during the previous season, much less have a "contemporary discussion" about musicians who died 50 years ago! Also, these are not the people who are writing the "commentary" you asked for in your previous post, and which I very graciously supplied references to. ;-)

In any case, I daresay most of the posters on this board are music consumers, and, IIRC, we've had discussions from time to time which referenced all the names you mentioned.

Ah yes - provocative female musicians: now for someone who REALLY seems to be forgotten, I've got to check up on Oxana Shevchenko, whose 2010 recording of the Liszt-Busoni "Fantasia on Two Themes from Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro'" was deemed superior (by one of those worthless critics!) even to the great Egon Petri's. I guess one is more easily underrated and/or forgotten when one's home country is Kazhakstan!
