#1 Yet another noble pursuit befouled by racist BLM hissyfits.

Everything is political. Every great western achievement is just Evil Whitey keeping down the noble Black Man. Even Beethoven's Fifth.

Even the New York Phil, incurable and wickedly ray is - even when it rewards merit and promotes a black man to be principal clarinetist...

#4 Has the 19th-century German composer Ludwig van Beethoven become a modern symbol of "exclusion and elitism" for rich, white men?

No, it just excludes low-lifes.

#6 Ain't that the truth BP.

How did they miss hating on the 9th symphony?

That's IMHO the greatest symphony of all time.

This is disgusting and vile as so much of anything having to do with BLM is.

#7 I call Vox a racist, sexist and bigoted organization.

#8 From his personal website:

Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music’s most recognizable and brilliantly multifaceted figures. He serves as the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic — that orchestra’s first African-American principal player. player — and maintains a dynamic international solo and chamber music career. ...McGill also serves as an ardent advocate for helping music education reach underserved communities and for addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in classical music.

One sees immediately that this gentleman of colour, as they say nowadays, is being kept down by The Man.

#9 Funny that classical music has been saved & is still being preserved through the tireless efforts of millions of Asians.

All while the Wakandans, Blammers and white self-flagellists promote and reward their hip hop culture of shit. Keep these idiots away from Beethoven and Bach. Let them watch Cardi B

#10 Pretty soon they'll achieve the leftist singularity and finally run out of things to bitch, whine and moan about.

#11 In the 1950s, the average Western citizen started to enjoy -- and embrace -- the highest of Western culture. In reaction, the Soviet's agents started a campaign against them, to replace it with ugliness and, frankly, garbage.

This is the useful idiots continuing their idiocy. The underlying ideology is the same -- the crap they're pushing has just gotten uglier. See the story about the Top 10; that's what they prefer over Beethoven's Fifth.

#12 ^ I do occasionally wonder who really won the Cold War. Why nuke New York if you can get New Yorkers to destroy it for you?

#15 I once was accused of racism (in 1990es) for saying that my favorite jazz musician is Stéphane Grappelli.

#18 It's only exclusionary and elitist because hip hop hasn't figured out how to steal sample it yet.
