I could suggest that you put your points about the IRR Review into a letter to the Editor.
However, I have written twice in recent months to IRR and neither letter has been published. I cannot recall immediately the subject matter of the first letter. In the second however I took issue with my old friend Malcolm MacDonald's review of the Fritz Brun Symphony No.1. Malcolm wrote that Brun is "probably, despite the claims of his elder contemporary,Hans Huber, Switzerland's most important symphonist". Apart from the fact that Huber was born 26 years before Brun and died before seven of Brun's symphonies had been composed-which doesn't really make him very "contemporary" with Brun in my opinion-my argument was that we simply do not know enough about Swiss symphonism to make such a claim. What about Honegger ??? And even if we discount Honegger, are we really in a position to produce a proper evaluation of the symphonies of, say, Conrad Beck ???
....anyway, this is far from Sullivan I know ::)......and it might still be worth trying a letter to IRR regarding "The Beauty Stone" :)
