Re: CRIT awards code of conduct

[Hal Heydt]
I've been wondering if organizations were doing that.  Pretty
much all of the classical Russian composers pre-date Putin, and
many pre-date the Soviet Union.  I'd rather hate to see Borodin's
"In the Steppes of Central Asia" or any number of
Rimsky-Korasakhov's works dropped from being played (just to cite
a couple of examples).

In the Steppes of Central Asia is interesting in modern times because it
celbrates a land that isn't part of Russia but which Russia desperately
wants.  Same goes for the Gayane Ballet Suite.

Hope they are playing Berezovsky's Ukranian suites again, though.
