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

Poppycock.

Sounds like more typical twaddle from Mr. Lebrecht. What he describes as "corruption" is a common practice of numerous magazines in numerous fields, not just music, and doesn't fool intelligent readers one bit, at least not more than once.

Individual reviewers must build their own reputations and credibility from scratch based on their own work, as Mr. Youngren apparently did for that reader.

Do you accept some random opinion as absolute truth merely because it appears in Gramophone? The N.Y. Times? Billy Bob's internet junkyard opinions.com? The Boston Globe, which published an article by its classical music critic praising Joyce Hatto to the skies? Come on.
