I suppose we could all call NPR and ask them to stop playing classical music by Maazel, but....

Too bad Mr. Maazel wasn’t around 65-years earlier. They would have loved him at Berchesgarten.

Maazel recently composed an opera on Orwell’s ‘1984’...they should try to get it performed in NK. Not.

Most NPR ststions hardly play Classical music at all anymore. It’s all talk shows about this or that.

Musicians are very skilled in their area of expertise. Most often, other than that, they don’t know from what direction the sun comes up.

Typical liberal comment. Dumbass probably thinks North Korea is a suburb of Beijing.

Have we set an example that should be emulated all over the world?..... Uhhhh, Yeah. Waterboarding isn’t quite as bad as starving your people or running them over with tanks or etc. etc. etc.

Stick...conductor’s baton... yuck, yuck, yuck.

we are lucky in denver to have an npr classical music station KVOD that is on a different station then National People’s Radio propaganda broadcasts. the only talk is music talk, and very little of that, and they might run a 5 minute hourly news at 1800.

In Chicago we have probably the best classical music station in North America (WFMT) but the Public Radio station is all other things considered.

One of my favorite stations (not an NPR or commercial free) is WCLV in Cleveland.
To: MaestroLC
"On the eve of the New York Philharmonic's departure on an Asian tour that will include a visit to Pyongyang, its music director, Lorin Maazel, suggested that Americans are not in a position to criticize the North Korean regime, because America's own record on human rights is flawed." Enjoy your stay in North Korea idiot.

I heard Maazel’s last concert in Cleveland in 1980 something. He conducted Verdi’s Requiem and it was great. He was a child genius, conducting orchestras while he was still a teen. He is known for not using a score while conducting—memorizing all the parts of the orchestra.
Still he’s an idiot at foreign policy and moral philosophy to equate NK and the US. Doesn’t he know the government has a policy of starving its citizens?
