Robert Fisk: Why is great art rarely a box office hit?
Independent – Jun 17, 2006
By the time I reached college however the very same Dickens appeared in every modern literature course – Dr David Craig formerly of Lancaster University please note – as a pseudo-leftist laying open the scandals of the Industrial Revolution (Hard Times and Bleak House). Equally when I was at school I developed a passion for largely ignored composers boring my parents to genuine tears with scratched but booming records of Bruckner and Shostakovich. Now they are flavour of the month all year round and the Leningrad is almost as overplayed as the masterpieces which Your Hundred Best Tunes turned into clichés: Beethoven’s Fifth Tchaikovsky’s 1812 verture Sibelius’ Finlandia Chopin’s preludes Handel’s Water Music Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and the other “pops” which have me reaching for the “off” button as surely as if they were Carly Simon. Clearly there are no set rules for all this. Verdi was as popular in his time as he is among opera-goers today. The Godfather crossed the line between popularity and art quite effortlessly.
