A fascinating 13 minute video documentary about how music lovers turned to bootlegged records made on used X-ray films to evade 50's era Soviet censorship.

QUESTION:
What is music?
Do Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms exist any more?
To: MarvinStinson
The second short video includes excerpts of Russian folk and classical music that was shared in this way, so I’d say the lengths people go to in order to preserve music shows all genres will always be in demand.

Huh? More people than ever before can listen to any music they want to listen to.
Plenty of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, etc. on Youtube. Check it out sometime.

They did have Leonid Kogan and David Oestrakh. Who could want any more?

You asked, “Do Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms exist any more?”
All I did was say yes.

What is music? Anything you can whistle.
Do Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms exist any more?
Not only exist but are more available then ever in a variety of ways.

Why would the article mention them? It's about music in 1950 Russia. Not old German composers.
To: MarvinStinson
Bach was a big influence on Gary Brooker of Procul Harum.

And check out the Jethro Tull version of Bouree.

To: Svartalfiar
Emil Gilels, Sviatoslav Richter, Mili Rostropovich, David Oistrakh, Leonard Kagan had something to do with music in Russia in the 1950’s.
But of course not for the clueless.
To: Svartalfiar
Svartalfiar has just informed that Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, were not played in Russia in the 1950’s.

Really? When did I ever say that?
