This is an important and very well made documentary that is essential viewing - particularly for all the celebrity musicians and prestigious orchestras who support the blood-tainted Chinese government by touring there - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Pmpcg8tUk Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-28190467774250977672018-12-06T19:18:12.185+00:002018-12-06T19:18:12.185+00:00Thanks for that Pau, it's appreciated.

All that you can do is make - and publicise - the best and most passionately well-crafted programmes you can think of. Ratings have to be watched, but calmly and with a sense of proportion. You have to believe that if even one person is swayed, or inspired, or changed, or comforted, by a programme, then that programme has been worthwhile".Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-75720175812908981452018-12-06T19:03:55.336+00:002018-12-06T19:03:55.336+00:00Very much enjoying this blog since I came across i...Very much enjoying this blog since I came across it a few weeks ago via a tip by jazz writer Ted Gioia.
