German & Classical music

[Megan]

A great insight into Germany and classical music today.
Jawohl !

I guess the real issue here is that the Arts are a form of discretionary spending as far as governments are concerned. In Germany, music in particular is at the centre of national life, in a way it is simply isn't in Britain. Perhaps that is to do with educational standards being higher in Germany.
