Ouch! And not even a keyboard graphics smiley to temper the snarl.
If I were a Brit, I think I'd feel more than a little insulted. IMHO,
Gramophone's reviews are now too short, and the recent makeover of the
graphics and layout has produced something no longer superlative but
looking like an elderly woman wearing too much makeup or - in the interests
of evenhandedness - a man in a bad wig. When the style draws too much
attention to itself, you have to wonder about the substance.
