the star system in classical music,
by A new questionaire

You are right about the malignant effects of the star system in classical music, but how is it any different than what has happened in sports and the rest of the entertainment world? A few performers but a Jury/ Mme. Yoheved "Veda" Kaplinsky/ of competitions are able to leverage a king's ransom in wages from the capitalists, as the rest sink into poverty (pianist who have no choice). The apologists wring their hands, but the system appears helpless to stop the trend.
