The best of your comments on the latest films and music
Wow. The very idea of orchestras and pop musicians sharing a stage is enough to reduce some people to apoplexy. Take JohnBorstlap's response to Maddy Costa's article last week on that very subject: "[The critic] Alex Ross was devastatingly at fault when he advocated a fusion of pop and serious: it betrays a fundamental incapacity of making distinctions between what is and what is not important or valuable. It looks as a typical product of 'democracy in taste', this disastrous American heritage which, as a fungus, undermines everything that is of value in the arts. In a world drenched in pop, the islands of serious art and serious music have to be protected from this teenage inability of living-up to the achievements of our past." But what do you really think? "Embarrassing nonsense." Oh, right.
There was no more enthusiasm from sprocketboy.
