When our Unheard Beethoven reconstruction of the Macbeth Overture was played in September by the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the Washington Post critic (not the same one as the 2001 review) panned it without even hearing it; in his concluding paragraph he even boldly admitted doing so. I couldn't believe the gall of a critic saying something like that, nor the attitude of an editor who would leave such an admission in a review. That, combined with a needless and blatantly anti-Semitic remark in the review makes me wonder if anyone's awake there.
