Re: The Best of Europe
Gamal brought to my jetlagged mind Russian revolutionary music: lyrical and melodic, and at the same time theatrically capricious and sly.
I guess I should hide some of my thoughts and impressions not to be called a lunatic, as Prokofiev did until Stalin died.

Re: The Best of Europe
They died the same day. There's a funny story about it.

Re: The Best of Europe
I know several stories about Prokofiev and Stalin, but none of them is funny.
Re: The Best of Europe
There is an anecdote that Grzegorz Fitelberg, director of Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra came to recording studio the next day and said: "Gentelmen, please stand up. The great Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev died tonight. Let's celebrate this with a minute of silence" and after a minute he asked concertmaster "Mister Wochniak, I've heard that Stalin had also died?"

The movie The Death of Stalin is quite good.

Insulting Prophet Muhammad not 'free speech,' ECtHR rules
the old canard that the prophet muhammad was a pedpphile because he married Aisha when she was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9.The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) ruled Thursday that an Austrian woman's criminal conviction and fine for her statements accusing the Prophet Muhammad of pedophilia did not breach her right to free speech.
The decision by a seven-judge panel came as an Austrian national identified as E.S. by the court, had held seminars on Islam in 2008 and 2009 for the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) where she discussed the prophet's marriage to his wife Aisha, a child at the time, and implied that he was a pedophile.
