Reviews by
Schiller Institute and LYM Authors
| "All art is dedicated to joy, and there is no higher and no more serious task than to make people happy. True art is only that art which provides the highest enjoyment. Supreme enjoyment is the freedom of the mind in the living play of all its powers." Excerpt from Right, Rembrandt's painting "Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer" |  |
The Schiller Institute will post regular online reviews of Classical music performances, books, art exhibitions, and related activities. With this, we hope to involve our fellow citizens in creating a scientific and artistic freedom of the mind , and to lift civilization out of the Romantic and Dionysian cultural swamp it has been sinking into over the past four decades, since the onslaught of the rock-drug-sex counterculture.
At the same time, we will make available on the site, reviews published earlier in Fidelio and EIR Magazine, which have universal historical and cultural significance.
Of special importance will be reviews contributed by members of the LaRouche Youth Movement, whose intensive work over the past few years in Classical science and music has already begun to create a revolution in those fields.
More links and articles of interest can be found on the Schiller Institute Education Page.
