[Armin]

Ganz nettes Geplauder, die Jugendgeschichte blieb mir besser in Erinnerung als die musikalische Praxis. Die deftigeren Anekdoten kamen ohnehin aus Musikerkreisen.

[Marina Sofia]

Sometimes it just becomes a listing of operas and names, but at times it's amusing and insightful about Mozart and Richard Strauss in particular.
