Here's another media influencer, with a legion of followers, who refuses to concede in his personal battle -- for now, at least, persisting in a battle that many of his followers still share. Fortunately, I would submit, this battle is relatively benign. New York Times classical music critic Anthony Tommasini confides why he's not giving up his obsession with physical CDs.

Kommentar: Die SZ attackiert Pianist Igor Levit: So unterirdisch kann "Musikkritik" sein | BR-Klassik

In der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 16. Oktober ist auf der ersten Seite des Feuilletons ein Artikel über den Pianisten Igor Levit erschienen. Der Text beginnt als Musikkritik und endet als politische Attacke. Darin überschreitet SZ-Kritiker Helmut Mauró eine Grenze. Eine Erwiderung.

Auch im Feuilleton läßt es sich prima hetzen.

Gut, wenn jemand dagegen einschreitet.

It is overplayed all over pop culture. But the pianist Igor Levit says it is “one of the most beautiful pieces I know.”

a really lovely read to consider a piece the vast majority of us probably know (even if we don't know that we know it)
