It's "the Gramophone disease"
I am an avid reader of Gramophone, but..... I sometimes wonder:
1. Has Simon Rattle ever recorded something that wasn't very good?
2. " Gardiner "
3. Has Hyperion ever made a bad recording?
etc....
Of course I am exaggerating a bit, but it has struck me every year when
they announce the Gramophone awards, that so many recordings are made by
English people
When I was new to classical music Gramophone was my "bible", but as I
became more experienced it was a relief to borrow my friends Fanfare or
ARG and to find that Fonoforum was available in Goteborg so that I
could get other points of view
