Classical Music at the Sochi Olympics

Mamoru Samuragochi

With the Olympics in the spotlight this year, music has played an important part in the competitions, especially the figure skating events.

However, it seems that music written by Mamoru Samuragochi, who claims to be deaf, was actually composed by a ghostwriter.

Even so, his music was still used in performances in Sochi.  I presume he is in great disgrace.
