NYT slow to correct errors

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

On December 8, the New York Times published a small article on the web about 'standout CDs in the Mozart Year' ie classical releases. Some critic recommended Mitsuko Uchida's recordings of the Debussy etudes on Decca. Nothing wrong with the recommendation, except that it was released by Philips, and recorded in 1990. I emailed them about this error within hours of their article coming on to the web. 12 hours ago, when I checked, the error was still uncorrected, but now it has. Slow! They didn't email me to acknowledge receipt, although when I find errors on the BBC site, they BBC always emails me back. The same reviewer recommended a performance of the Bartok sonata for two piano and percussion with Georg Solti as a pianist. I did not email them about this CD, to see if their arts editor was actually awake. If you read the article, there is nothing to state that this is likewise not a new release for Mozart year. Perhaps the NYT believes everyone knows Solti is dead.
