"There was a time when Mahler's music was not universally respected, to say the least."
I was late to appreciat Mahler, REALLY late, but I knew the problem was ME and not that of Mahler. As a dyed in the wool 'rhomantic', it's taken me a while to learn to appreciate music within its own context. As I posted here earlier, I don't think it would make any sense to set Yevtushenko's writing to music from The Nutcracker, even though it's Russian, but WTFDIK I'm not a musicologist.
That said I'm putting the boys pictured above in my VERY late group of composers for appreciation.
As in the years after my passing. =:-0
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
