RE: I stand by my comments on Lebrecht

Alas, I have to agree with you on this one. While Lebrecht is a living encyclopedia of the classical music world, and a skilled writer to boot, he suffers from a weakness that is deadly to good journalism. That is, he becomes so obsessed with certain of his theories or outlooks, and so convinced of their pervasive truth and importance, that he needs to interpret everything he sees as support or proof of them. Thus he twists things until they conform to his theories, which may have some validity but are almost never as pervasively true or important as he is convinced they are.

I've seen this in other writers, but seldom to this extent in one of his intellectual prowess.
