@conantat1 Thats hilarious and true. Why can't people just accept greatness when they hear it? Toscanini's performances were soooo tight and rhythmically precise, even if somehow you don't like the particular rendition, you have to appreciate it.
Few composers let out such anguish and discover such beauty. Shostakovich was more than just a genius composer, he was (is) a mouthpiece for humankind. Thanks for posting.
