Then I fully assume you will be contacting DG on Lang Lang's new 2nd
effort. Not that I would ever think of buying it. But why not put your
money where your mouth is?

WTF are you talkin about?

Look at the cover on Lang Lang's new Rach 2nd piano concerto recording. Note
the way it is spelled. Note the way it is spelled on VIRTUALLY all major
record labels in the English speaking parts of the world.

Now, work it out. Assuming you can. Get irate with DG of course.


He spelled his own name "transliterated" as he did, for simpletons. Like
you.

..or perhaps to outrage pedantic, literalist twits, like you.

At least I have something to be pedantic about. At least I have something to
be literalist about. After all, it is only some composer's generally, and
widely used, name. And, at least, I have never persisted like many here, in
pointing out simple typos.

As for Shaffer, well, he is a lost cause anyway.

At least I know how Russian words and names are properly transliterated
and pronounced. But I don't really care. "Rachmaninov" does not offend
me, although it is actually wrong, both from the point of view of what
the composer preferred, and of how Russian names are correctly
transliterated into English. But you don't understand these things,
that's why you made such a big fuss about them and called people
"retards" who simply know better than you.
There is nothing pedantic or literalist about your rantings. It is
simply that you don't understand what you are talking about. Common
usage does not make things "right". It is still "nuclear" although many
Americans, including the chieftain, think it's "nucular".
Me asking about what could or could not have been a typo because I am
actually interested in learning more about foreign languages - unlike
you, who is simply freaked out and apparently feels threatened by such
things, you can't even get yourself to try and spell foreign names
right - has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.
There is absolutely no connection at all.
Except how you cling to that shows us how completely pointless your
argument here is, not just the argument with me, but with many other
posters here you tried and failed to educate you about the
"Rachmaninoff" thing. Hey, but at least we all tried. It's nobody's
fault here you are just a xenophobic hick.
