I wouldn’t say I *loved* Tippett but with enemies like these..

I’m finding this article grindingly depressing about English music in c20th. So bitchy and horrible and provincial and mediocre. And still with us.

The 5th quartet written in the 90s is very good and strange. Especially the v slow opening of the second movement.

Good stuff @MusicClerk

Yes mate

Imagine thinking both European modernism and American experimentalism and minimalism were shit and just keeping on doing extended tonality Victoriana shit thinking that was the one true path. Imagine.
