From: "Robert E. Winston" <rewinston@-----.net> Subj: Is Vienna Right? Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 08:17:25 -0500
Risking the wrath of those who would prefer yet another round of "Which
Mouthpiece Is Best," I wonder if anyone would care to defend the VPO's position?
Is there a case to made for cultual consistency in music making? Are the VPO
musicians bigots or conservators of a unique musical culture? Can a musical
argument, as opposed to an employment rights case, be made for 'white men
playing white music for white audiences.'
