Alan Moss gives a polite reply to Norman Lebrecht:
>Though these recordings have long ceased to surprise or shock, the
>experience of listening to them is still visceral. Forgive me if I had
>difficulty in accepting -- even from such a highly respected author and
>broadcaster -- the blanket condemnation that this cannot be a genuine
>musical experience, period.
So on the one hand an AUTHORITY FIGURE declares that a recording cannot
furnish a genuine musical experience, while many music lovers join Alan
Moss in testifying to the incorrectness of that declaration, based on their
experience.
A less polite reply, adapted from Richard Pryor:
"Who are you going to believe, me, or your lying ears?"
