    For those of you boycotting Russian music because of Putin,
    go ahead and play dumb. Putin is an Oligarch, an anti-Russian.

    But we all knew that.

    I like Sviridov's Triptych -- no political concern applies.

    Also in the same issue they print two letters from
    readers asking the magazine to quit making CDs. If they
    do so, I'll cancel my subscription, since CDs are the
    selling point.

    Call me paranoid, but the editor’s choice to print two “pro-green” letters
    to the editor may signal their intention to eliminate the CD altogether
    as a cost-cutting/profit-enhancing scheme under the pretext of saving the planet.

    The magazine does not now send the plastic jewel case, the major contribution to the magazine’s planetary plastic burden, to North American
    subscribers. Should they eliminate the CD, how many continuing
    subscribers would choose to burn a CD-R?

    I have likewise resolved to terminate my subscription should the
    CD be discontinued to avoid the nuisance of burning a CD-R or
    the substantial expense of buying DEDICATED equipment to
    retrofit a stereo system to access a streaming or downloadable
    alternative.
