theres an amusing piece with daniel barenboim in yesterdays guardian making the case for boulez as a worthy companion to beethoven, conductors and performers are usually better advocates for the unfortunately term 'new music' than writers (thinking of ppl like ricardo chailly or ian pace)....else you could all the way back to adorno &c

I didn't like the Grauniad piece because it only really seeks to paint a picture of contemporary classical as a sort of hip sidecar adjunct to pop; it's full of "b-b-but the ideas of composer X can be heard radiating through to the work of Guardian-reader-friendly-rock act Y"-type getout clauses.

yeah, that aspect of it reads like marketing rather than criticism.

I think Service's piece is great and only briefly does it touch upon pop culture
