One must draw the line somewhere. Khrennikov is where I draw the line. The music is not worth ignoring my personal beliefs. What he put Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Myaskovsky, Popov, Shebalin, Weinberg, and on and on is not something I can just look past because the melodies are hummable. He was a true rat of a a sub-human. Read the stories of Prokofiev doing without food and then listen to his empty music. He made Myaskovsky's last years a torment. Weinberg was sent to prison. Licking Zhdanov's boots. Denying that he ever did anything questionable, etc. etc. I just cannot do it.
