Sir – Oxford has hosted two concerts in the last three weeks, featuring artists of international renown that would have certainly attracted critical review in the national press had they taken place in London.
Alas, Oxford Philomusica’s Mozart concert featuring the wind quintet of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Music at Oxford’s promotion of Schubert’s Die Schoene Muellerin featuring Paul Lewis and Mark Padmore were completely ignored by our local paper which speaks volumes about The Oxford Times policy on excellence in the arts, particularly classical music.
While we all admire Chris and Rosemarie’s unrivalled knowledge of local pubs, don’t you think he could do with a little more help when it comes to more serious cultural matters?
