Vladimir A Mozart, eh?

Vladimir A Mozart, eh?

 

Wolfgang's heretofore unknown twin?

My reactions exactly: who is Vladimir A. Mozart and how are the Mariinsky going to do in Alice?

 

You have to love Google Translate, don't you: it can be such a laugh.

There was  a time not so long ago when Google Translate used to translate "Ballett" from German as "clench". "He attended the Royal Clench School and then joined the National Clench of Canada".

I kid you not.

But it does a better job on Russian to English than I can!
