Bah! Humbug!


If I may be forgiven the comparison, John Rutter is the Andrea Bocelli of classical choral music: many people adore his work, and there are (probably not so) many who loathe it. – Raymond Tuttle, at http://www.classical.net


While many will go all aflutter

When hearing an anthem by Rutter,

I express how I feel

With a virulent spiel

In my petulant seasonal splutter.
