In Reply to: For me he's part of a slightly different tradition posted by rbolaw on May 20, 2015 at 07:08:00:
. . . since he's a patron of other worthwhile endeavors (e.g., the Pentatone label, the SF Symphony, etc.), aside from his own music. My reference was to John Eliot Gardiner (JEGgy), whose wealth, I understand, allows for his undeserved prominence in the musical world. (Yeah, I know he has fans here!) I guess he's sometimes known as Jiggy too (see link below) - and apparently he hates that nickname (which is a good reason for us to continue to use it!).
Oh for the days of Ernest Chausson, who felt that his own wealth gave him an unfair advantage over other composers, and to "level the playing field", he actually suppressed some performances of his own music!
