A delightful stream of consciousness "about" Reznicek's Der Sieger (CPO 999898-2), the sentiments of which are hard to argue with (evidently writers for CPO are poorly recompensed for their labours)...

"These are the sorts of moments when one asks oneself what one has achieved for everything in the world and how it can happen that the "others" always reap the great harvest, while oneself often has to fight for the barest minimum. Even if the clouds of self-doubt only clear for a passing moment, it will occur to one that one in fact would never want to exchange places with those "others" not because money in itself stinks but because the methods employed for accumulating vast sums of it are often disreputable enough. The decision for a certain measure of idealism is a luxury that has its price".
