Date: 2018-07-30 03:46 pm (UTC)Israel: This makes me very sad, but no sadder than I am for the UK or my own US. I'd have no more voted for Netanyahu than for Brexit, or than I did for Trump. We've got them anyway.
Conductor and soloist: I knew before reading that this would be about Bernstein and Gould, since that's just about the only time in classical concert history that such a clash has ever happened. Even the one the writer thinks they witnessed they're not entirely sure actually happened. (And that the interpretation of the meaning of Beethoven's slow movement requires a different tempo is ridiculous.)
