Loads of contentious stuff above but I hadn’t noticed Josie’s skin colour.

Caught up with the first half - I am with the newspaper reviewers - I thought VO was terrific.

K491 is very fine too. I can see why some might find it lacking in passion and a bit understated compared with say Annie Fischer’s recording but I enjoyed it a great deal . It is an interpretation that for me made me think more about the music.

The post by ucanseetheend was sneering and condescending to anyone who liked the concert . I thought the house rules did not allow deliberately offensive posts ?

Non HIPPster lives matter.

ucanseetheend's post was not targeted specifically, It was a general comment stretching beyond this forum, as well as within it. Yours was targeted directly at ucanseetheend. That was clearly in contravention with the first House Rule.

If someone says "Some are easily pleased by 2nd rate performance" then that is a specific comment belittling people of a different opinion. The comment was made immediately after a post praising the performance so I can understand Barbirollians reaction. Your comment is nonsensical.

Just because there seem to be a few wearing similar caps here, that does not make the observation that "some are easily pleased by 2nd rate performance" specifically targetted. The Barbed comment was specifically directed at one contributor here. That was in contravention of the first House Rule. Joining in a chorus of support for that contravention does not nullify that House Rule. As it happens, there is a long history of attempts at belittling views expressed in support of HIPP here. It is even known for the occasional pseudonym used here to be based on such dismissal of HIPP viewpoints
