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:
When told that so-and-so was a great singer but was sometimes criticized for being vulgar, he replied, "Thank God for vulgarity!" You might want to apply a similar epithet here. I personally love the Alpine Symphony, and I revel in its immensity and--yes--bombast. Nothing like the sound of a huge orchestra going at full-tilt!
