Listen to ABBA instead!

The post that was quoted here has been removedI am sure that many Westerners of a certain age are only too glad that Asians are filling up orchestra places and filling up seats to keep the great halls open and to keep an artform that would otherwise be on life support, vibrantly alive.

No they’re not.
ABBA, the Beatles and Jan Vermeer are Europe’s best artists.
Followed by Springsteen (honory European artists), Carravaggio, Rembrandt, Pink Floyd, Samual L. jackson (who doesn’t know he’s a white European), Picasso and Leonardo Davinci.
It’s really quite a white European list.

The post that was quoted here has been removedOh, all right, I have been trying to stay off these forums, but since I’ve been name-checked in this thread, I will make a special guest reappearance. I would say that any cultural gap between Europe and East Asia is dwarfed by the gap between the age of Mozart and the present day. If people can still understand, admire and appreciate The Marriage of Figaro over a gulf of nearly two and a half centuries, then there’s absolutely no reason to suppose that they shouldn't be able to do so over the distance between Vienna and Beijing.
