Steve, for sure, classical music has gotten more support in Europe than it gets here in the US. Perhaps it's a matter of how close we are culturally to the art form? It's also said that people's attention spans have decreased, and the US might just lead the charge in this. As a jazz lover, I point to this shot heard around the World. Also hard to argue about the widespread popularity of our "popular music". I am glad to be able to listen to Music from around the World, but I have wondered if the "virtual" aspect of contemporary music has made it "more ephemeral", or if this is part of Music's "living presence" even as it is part of its "evolution". For me, as I age, the Dialog includes more and more static.
