He invariably introduces himself with his full name at the start of each video, in case you didn't recognize him.

...and worth every penny!  :)

Just chipping in to say that I too regard Pli selon pli as Boulez's absolute masterpiece. A work of rarefied, intense beauty, and one that never ceases to amaze me.

Quote from: DavidW on March 30, 2024, 08:42:05 AMIt doesn't make any sense to compare to a youtuber in a much more popular subject.

The YouTuber I cited is not popular.  David Hurwitz is less popular than an unpopular YouTuber.  That's the point.

Maybe it's time for a Hurwitz Derangement Syndrome thread.  The bitchfest is getting as tiresome as a bad Hurwitz video.

To counter the bitchfest, I will point out that I've gotten some good recommendations from Hurwitz. Also, occasionally he writes something interesting or makes a worthwhile point.

Well I mean this is it!  It started that way and has always been that way.  I think really we need a "Hurwitz fan club" for people to just discuss his reviews without the old argument coming up.

I'm not crazy about joining a "Hurwitz fan club," but I think it's the only way to make this thread viable.
It's all good...

Could it be as simple as re-titling this thread?

Unquestionably so. Perhaps to counter all the bitchfest, I should make a list of all kinds of things from Hurwitz I admire. (I just don't want him to get a swelled head.)
