In Reply to: R. Strauss' "An Alpine Symphony" as "Bloated and Bombastic"--please discuss! posted by John Marks on May 9, 2017 at 04:35:20:
Maybe I'm a ramblin' kinda guy, but I feel that Strauss's Alpensinfonie is one of his best works. In concert or on recording, I never hear it without feeling elated. I've also noted over the years that when the local critic doesn't like something, he or she will claim a similar kind of audience apathy (which conveniently mirrors the critic's own opinion - a kind of mini pathetic fallacy!), using assertions and lies (e.g., describing an audience's applause as tepid, when, in reality, it was actually enthusiastic) which all too perfectly fit in with our current climate of "fake news"! My impression is that, in years past, this kind of unsophisticated and lazy dismissal of the Alpensinfonie used to be seen in reviews more frequently, but, these days, this kind of bush-league writing is still encountered every now and then. ;-)
