Overgrown Path to Lebrecht: stop your click bait hypocrisy


Today Norman Lebrecht jumps on the Greta Thunberg bandwagon and calls out the New York Philharmonic for flying to China - see above. In July Lebrecht called out British Airways for the quality of the food served to him on a flight to Shanghai - see below. What surprises me is not that Lebrecht keeps peddling this opportunistic hypocrisy, but that the classical music industry continues to take him seriously.

And in the new year Lebrecht travels, presumably by plane, to North America to promote his new book - https://slippedisc.com/2019/12/genius-and-anxiety-is-published-today-in-the-us-and-canada/
