Tommasini can be literate and understand music (and be able to read music as well and maybe even perform) but his reviews on opera are pretty much off the mark. I'm not surprised MP3 is enough for him :-(

The press in general are totally ignorant of what good sound "sounds" like. The ipod is great for its portability but the fact is MP3 sounds like compressed sound, it is nothing like good sound. A few iPod"ers" have already discovered that MP3 is not what it should sound like. But I do not expect the masses to follow, the masses usually go for the lowest common denominator anyway, rap over classical music and so forth.

I think it is perfectly legitimate for JA and Fremer to expect more from Tommasini but they just picked the wrong guy because he is not a good critic anyway in what he does (i.m.h.o).

  Whatever Tomassini's critical abilities, he has an influential venue in The New York Times
