Subj: [kl] National Sounds (the big debate!)
Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2000 12:37:01 -0400

With all the notions of what sounds like what, which I think is personal
perception, I've come to this conclusion: I will like what I like, whether
it be German, French, English, Israeli, Icelandic, etc. I do think, however,
there can be a valid argument both ways; with the distinct sounds of certain
orchestras, at the same time the readiness of the media enables vast
"mixing". Maybe I'm being naive, but if I like what I hear, it doesn't
strike me to inquire or even care what nationality the player or the
orchestra is. I do like to know who they are, but the nationality isn't
what's important to my ears or to me. Respectfully submitted, of course.
