Boulez, again

Searching the internet for something, I stumbled upon this interesting discussions about Boulez again, which I had forgotten about, on the roaring music website Slipped Disc where people contribute from the most diverse corners of life, bound by only one thing: a feeling of commitment to the noble art form of classical music. Some comments and reactions demonstrate how much of postwar ideology has persisted, even after such long time, among music lovers. Also it is interesting and instructive to see that what any musically-trained ear can perceive immediately, can be veiled by theory, conformism and plain ignorance.
