ABSTRACT This article examines the values and attitudes of Estonian music criticism in print publications. The findings suggest that state-subsidized publications are characterized by Romantic ideology, professionalism, and tradition, and cover almost exclusively classical music, whereas commercial publications review mostly popular music and adopt a more individualized, less normative attitude to music. While transnational studies have referred to the growing legitimation of the ‘popular’ in elite publications, the high–low discrimination evident in Estonian state-subsidized music journalism upholds the dominant cultural value hierarchy. This could be embedded in the institutional framework of Estonian music culture and its Soviet heritage.

从制度上嵌入的“严肃”到个性化的“流行”：爱沙尼亚音乐批评中的价值观和态度报告

摘要 本文考察了印刷出版物中爱沙尼亚音乐批评的价值观和态度。研究结果表明，国家资助的出版物具有浪漫主义意识形态、专业精神和传统的特点，几乎只涵盖古典音乐，而商业出版物主要评论流行音乐，对音乐采取更个性化、更不规范的态度。虽然跨国研究提到了精英出版物中“流行”的日益合法化，但爱沙尼亚国家补贴的音乐新闻业中明显的高低歧视维持了占主导地位的文化价值等级。这可以嵌入爱沙尼亚音乐文化及其苏联遗产的制度框架中。
