The Case for Classical Music, Old and New
as made by Peter Maxwell Davies (via Elaine Fine).

On August 30, 2006, pianist Stephanie Gurga and I did a faculty recital at DePauw University called "The Romantic Cello." As an experiment in bringing in and engaging a wider audience, we wore jeans and exempted everyone from the usual rules of concert etiquette. You can read more on my website and in a story on the DePauw Website, including a video clip. What did the audience think? Read the comments to my morning-after post.
And here are all the posts I wrote on the concert, in order of appearance:
life, the cello, and everything

Hi. I've got to defend myself again against ignorant remarks on cello chat. Getting so sick of that place. Anyway...
I was just wondering if you remembered reading some quotations from news articles accross the twentieth century from american newspapers saying that classical music was just about to die. I seem to remember reading it either on your blog, or a lnk from your blog (possibly Greg Sandow?), but I can't remember now, nor can I find it. Do you have any idea what I'm on about? Perhaps I didn't read it here! Sorry to be so vague, but just wondering if you could help.
I thinnk that may have been on Alex Ross's site, www.therestisnoise.com. Alex is one of those who thinks some of the rest of us are wringing our hands too much.
BTW, I decided to stay clear of the Cell Chat contorversial threads, so you may notice I didn't post anything in the one that started with the Isserlis review and moved to national schools of playing. Much nicer this way--hope I keep it up.
