Saint Saens' violin potboilers are hokey, but nonetheless beautiful.

Off-Topic / The "Anglicization" of Europe [132]

Now that Bojo's history, this will finally cast a new (and sorely needed) light on the future of BREXIT as well as the relationship of the Continent, naturally including Poland, with the UK in the years to come!

At least you admitted it, Milo!
Regarding Cojestdocholery, always more pc to give the non-native English poster the benefit of the doubt over the educated native English speaker such as yours truly:-)

The reason you've turned against me is simply that I've rejected your long-cherished misconceptions and are showing you up at long last for what you really are.

Oh, and don't let's forget of course about Saint Saens!
Bizet was no slouch either LOL. Then there's always Delibes' "Lacme" Berlioz? Not overwhelmed.

You ought to have trusted your first instincts, Milo!
They wouldn't have let you down:-)
What made you change? Is historical truth that abhorrent to you?

@Cojestdocholery, quit trolling! Nobody's interested anyway.

In general, I'm not overwhelmingly a fan of 20th century French music and the only French composers who were anything special in my opinion were Faure, Lalo, and some early Debussy:-)

Heifetz performing the Lalo Violin Concerto is almost mesmerizingly beautiful!

History / Introduction to Polish history! From a Polish perspective [94]

@Cojestdocholery,
Are you aware of the name "Dr." Frits Claussen and his ill-fated pro-Hitler outbursts? To the Danes' proud credit, he never received even full minority support in the Folketing (Danish Parliament) and was even denounced as "Un-Danish" in character!

Yes, I'm aware that in nearly every European nation, a pro-Nazi contingent reared its ugly head, with perhaps the exeception of Albania and Bulgaria.

Otto Weininger, Otto Bettauer (many feel), for starters. Apparently, the Bechstein piano people were originally Jewish in origin, and many of their descendants imagined they could curry favor with The Fuehrer.

And what would call the likes of Dr. Theodor LEWald, Germany's Rep in Chief of the '36 Olympics, half-Jewish and full Hitler supporter.

The list is fairly extensive.
