| The most obvious complaint that I noticed in the Gramophone article was that Schwartz often programmed obscure works twice in the same week to half full houses.
This is probably more the fault of Classic FM and BBC Radio 3 than Mr. Schwartz. People are les likely to pay to see a performance of a work they have never heard of. But they rarely get the opportunity to listen to anything other than that which is already familliar. We need more concerts to be showen on television. We need to reach the largest audience we can so that people are more receptive to unknown works. |
