Localized Elgar VS. Beethoven Smackdown

[beclemund]

Of course, the only problem with the recourse to the Googlefight argument is that its results are always open to THIS!

For purposes of this poll, even if you have not heard the Elgar, it is acceptable to vote for the Beethoven

Just because they haven't heard Fidelio, is no reason for anyone to call The Apostles "a miserable would-be opera."

It is a "miserable would-be oratorio."
