Paul:
The classical music market is a lot like the wine market. It survives by creating the illusion of meaningful diversity. There will always be a demand for the opportunity to distinguish oneself by pretending to see a world where others see nothing.
Helen Morrison:

Helen Morrison:

The classical market is a lot like the wine market
00:00:04.045 --> 00:00:05.587
It survives

by creating the illusion of meaningful diversity
00:00:09.801 --> 00:00:11.885
There will always be the demand
00:00:11.969 --> 00:00:13.097
for the opportunity to distinguish oneself
00:00:14.055 --> 00:00:16.556
by pretending to see a world
00:00:16.641 --> 00:00:18.099
where others see nothing
00:00:19.101 --> 00:00:20.435
Sometimes there really is a world
00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:22.915
Well the fact that you perceive a difference
00:00:22.939 --> 00:00:25.106
doesn't necessarily make that difference meaningful
00:00:25.775 --> 00:00:28.151
Are you calling me a snob
00:00:28.236 --> 00:00:30.999
