In Reply to: The Classiest one I ever read was LJK Setright nt posted by Des on November 2, 2015 at 16:54:32:
Setright was Jewish, I believe Orthodox, but he was very educated in music, and he once observed that Edward Elgar's Newman setting "The Dream of Gerontius" could turn ANYONE into a Catholic for as long as it was playing.
THAT was gracious.
