Who Killed Classical Music? by Norman Lebrecht
Maestros, Managers, and Corporate Politics
This insightful exploration delves into the decline of classical music, attributing its downfall to the commercialization and corporatization of the industry. The narrative examines the roles of influential figures, including conductors, record executives, and music critics, who have prioritized profit over artistic integrity, leading to a homogenization of the art form. Through a critical lens, it highlights the impact of these changes on musicians and audiences alike, offering a compelling critique of the modern classical music landscape and questioning whether the genre can be revitalized in an era dominated by market forces.
