This is the most ignorant piece I've ever read in this site. Ignorant about music, ignorant about philosophy and even architecture gets its fair share of ignorance. His comments about the music of the past are completely off ("the repertory was neither controversial nor specially challenging"), as are those about the present music (" our music has either floated into the modernist stratosphere, where only ideas can breathe, or remained attached to the earth by the repetitious mechanisms of pop.")

This crap is pedantic second rate "family values" conservatism disguised as a piece on music and philosophy.

You may be right, but this comment doesn't help the reader understand why, and the indignation is static in the channel. It would be better to edit that out, then add in specific information about why each of those things is wrong. Then we all learn something.
