and feel it's a case that leads to soul searching amongst folks interested in the classical music industry. I've never heard of such a wide scandal in over 40 years of classical music collecting.

This is a major embarrassment for the critical establishment IMO, bringing into sharp focus how much things that have nothing to do with music impact their thinking and desire to promote one performance over another. In at least one case, a reviewer compared "Hatto" favorably to Haebler, not knowing that in fact Hatto in this case WAS Haebler. Now, this kind of thing may not come as a surprise to many of us here, but I think it goes a long way to proving a point that many of us here would like to make--that the music press very often does not know what the hell it's talking about and should not be taken too seriously if at all.If only we could find a way to do the same to the illiterate rock critics out there.
Yeah, I dissed the critics in a couple of my prior posts related to this, so I'm totally with you. It's funny how my head works sometimes. I saw the actual deception (actual CRIME?) as being related to the "music business" and considered it small stuff (just a single misguided soul involved in technical/artistic plagarism). The thing about the CRITICS...well, it's LOL funny (and no surprise), but I must admit I though it more about the funky waiter than the meal itself, if you get my drift. In other words, this all is "one bad meal from an otherwise good kitchen" in terms of the plagarism/theft, but the waiters have been odd always and forever: never doubted it for a minute!:-)
