Man, that's veering towards old geezer type comments. ("In my day, we wouldn't have shown so much as an ankle!")
The reason the babe/nickname comments seem constant to you is because more and more new recordings are, in fact, by babe musicians. And the reason for that is that these musicians are often the best (or among the best) current exponents of the given repertoire. Thus, you (and others here) ought to be able to understand why my favorite artists are, quite often, my favorite pouty babes. If someone here doesn't like a particular babe musician recording, I'm certainly willing to listen to that. But when people go ballistic and get on the war path just because they see the b-word or a nickname or a first-name reference, that shouldn't be my problem (although frequently it is my problem, because I'm not going to let this kind of irrationality go unanswered).
EDIT: BTW, who set this current thread (which was supposed to be about Sudbin's recording of the Beethoven Concertos) off in this direction? I can assure you it was not me! ;-)
