Mozart's 42nd - yeah, right
Good article, lots of fascinating stuff. I fixated on EMI's
inventor's reaction to the statement of one man who spoke from the
audience after EMI's "Mozart." The man said there was nothing in
EMI's performance that sounded like Mozart. Cope, EMI's inventor,
dismissed this as the statement of a man who had come to the concert
with his mind already made up. Perhaps, but it does sound as if Cope
had already made up HIS mind about any audience member who was not
prepared to be blown away by EMI. That one man may have been the only
member of the audience whose opinion was worth having.
