A very interesting series - and a problematic issue…
For its content on musical matters, this series is most welcome and would in my opinion deserve a five star review. Alas, I am only able to give it three stars, as Mr. Hickey seems unable or unwilling to refrain from ruining the listening experience by inserting all kinds of “warnings”. As a listener, you get treated as if you were a child. This is more than annoying,especially as the factual content of his series is most enlightening and full of facts one really wants to know. To me, such denegrating behaviour seems be a sign of the times we are living in, and one can only hope that these times will change so that this kind of talking down to listeners will not be considered necessary any more. Such criticism aside, I shall continue to listen to Mr. Hickey’s content, though I would strongly recommend that he feel encouraged to treat his listeners as adults.
