RE: The
Oh come on Parla, this is a notion that has been encouraged by the BBC and other liberals in the UK for over 50 years. I can't believe you are so far behind the times in central europe. Everything is equal, we are all equal, we believe in equal, we worship the god equal (although he's not really a god as that would make him unequal (better than us, with more knowledge) he's really just a broadcasting beacon, an icon, we even pay for him to exist),
Here we go again: The Gospel According to Brodsky. What a lot of frustration that damned Enlightenment causes him.

RE: Bad vibes
Resistance is futile, as the Borg might say.
I thought that was said by the Vogons in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
You are both wrong 'Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated' has been the ethos of the BBC for at least 80 years. At least the Vogons and the Borg have found ways to fund themselves.

Then you had better not get to close to the TV or radio in case they assimilate you (I wish!).

RE: The worst record covers ever
I rarely contribute here because of the tedious nature of so many of the contributions. I do however contribute very regularly to the Goodreads site because there we discuss books and nothing else. There are no insults, deviations, pointless repetitions or any of the other nonsense that now clogs up almost every thread on this site. In short we don't look on our contributions as being part of a competition which we are desperately trying to win.I suggest to all those with an excess of spare time to take a look.

Took a look at the Goodreads site. It looks interesting. On the first page is a quote from Bernard Baruch:
"Those who mind don't matter; those who matter don't mind."
Seemed appropriate somehow.

RE: The worst record covers ever
Trying to think of a cover for a set of recordings from an early music festival featuring Sara Mingardo, Fabio Biondi Rinaldo Alessandrini etc? Of course, it's obvious, you use a photo of a woman with very red lips and a diamond between her teeth: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/Resonanzen-2011-Gl%E4nzende-Gesch%E4fte/hnum/4303487 .

It's becoming a habit with her. The cover of Sacrificium said more about Ms. B. than it did about the contents.

However and after all, Ms Bartoli's latest CD is a marvelous one for the repertory it served and is highly recommended for its contents (if this could be enough to overcome the deterrent of the...whatever you may call cover).

I must admit to finding the covers, bizarre though they may be, more interesting than her singing has become these days.

She looks a bit like Inspector Montalbano (ususually played by Luca Zingaretti)

Parla states:
"The use of "brilliant" is descriptive;
it's not a value judgment ... The words "amazing", "splendour"
etc. are descriptive [ ] of what
technically happens in the music work ... The first one is objective (it has to do with
the actual value of the product) ... So … when a work has these ... features
(structure, orchestration, etc.), it is a great composition..."
Parla's case that some music is objectively superior to others, using the evidence that he has supplied, is illogical. Arguments that defy logic are nonsense.
All subsequent arguments, denials, protestations of misrepresentation, etc, etc, will be referred without comment to statements he has made in this debate.
