  • Intuitive Guess re: H.J. Lim

    From JohnGavin@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 17 02:25:43 2022
    Reading HJ Lim’s biographical sketch from about a dozen years ago, I remember that she had tried to become Buddhist nun and was rejected at that time.

    I certainly see the wisdom in that move. She was seen as a highly talented young lady who needed to manifest her exceptional ability before the mandatory renunciation.

    If you have ever seen Buddhist monks construct a mandala (a beautiful, meticulously designed symbol, made of colored sand on the ground which is immediately destroyed after being finished) you know that this is an exercise in complete and utter
    detachment which is viewed as absolutely necessary in both Buddhism and Vedanta Hinduism.

    The reason I think that this is likely what has happened in the last 10 years is because it seems to have remained silent. If she has gotten married and started a family there would be no reason for her life to have been hidden. Taking monastic vows on
    the other hand is some thing that would be done in private. I am not claiming to know this for a fact, but if this is what she did she has my highest admiration and respect.

    There was a time when some people here (or some such place) always said Sv. Richter in any piece of music. Sv. Richter 24 / 7. That got me off Richter totally, too.
    And, obviously, Richter is a genius musician.
    Lim is just a hairtossing key banger.

    There is really no single pianist I am less interested in than HJLim.

    Her life is not hidden at all -- except perhaps to people
    who cannot access YouTube. There is no shortage of
    more recent clips on YT, including one in which she
    appears pregnant and several with a big wedding ring.

    She gave concerts in Korea as recently as June and
    July this year, she teaches master classes, and so on.

    Is there any point in notifying others
    about topics that are of no interest
    to one? Or should we take it as a
    hint to refrain from discussing
    topics that are of no interest
    to Your Majesty?

    All this at the same time you
    accuse others of attempting
    to "moderate" this group?

    Jeez .....

    There are some people here (or some such
    place) who always say Arrau in any piece of
    music. Claudio Arrauthritis 24/7. You never
    complain about them, do you?

    That got me off Richter totally, too.

    It has been pretty obvous for a while that
    you do not rely on your ears. Who cares
    about what others hear or think if one
    can hear and think by oneself.

    And, obviously, Richter is a genius musician.

    And just like every other musician, he is
    more successful in some repertoire than
    in different repertoire.

    Lim is just a hairtossing key banger.

    Herman is just a deaf, dumb, hate speech
    spewing anti Asian racist who jumps at
    every opporunity to deride and insult
    Asian and/or women artists.

    Allow me to remind you of the countless times you break into topics to tell people they are "brainfucked idiots" because they listen and like stuff you disapprove of. Does the name Arrau ring a bell, perhaps? Or if you're in a good mood, to just change
    the subject to something you're interested in.
    RMCR has always been a place where people can also say they do NOT like something, for instance getting spammed about a performer. The Toscanini guy comes to mind. Or indeed the Lim guy.
    RMCR consists largely of written messages. You have a giant trail of angry, negative messages, so the hypocrisy of the above post reeks to high heaven.

    How many times do you "break into topics"
    disparaging Asian artists? Remember the
    incident when you described Kyuhee Park
    as a "nubile Asian woman" (or something
    to that effect)? Never mind she is widely
    considered to be the finest classical
    guitarist currently on stage. Or just a
    few messages earlier in this thread you
    described HJ Lim as a "hairtossing key
    banger"?

    You really owe them apologies.

    Does the name Arrau ring a bell, perhaps?

    Yes, it does. The worst pianist I ever heard.
    You clearly do not understand there is a
    difference between insulting living people
    versus describing dead cattle as idiots.

    Or if you're in a good mood, to just change
    the subject to something you're interested in.

    As do so many others in this ng, including you.

    RMCR has always been a place where people
    can also say they do NOT like something, for
    instance getting spammed about a performer.

    Yes I know, I do this often. And so do many
    others.

    The Toscanini guy comes to mind. Or indeed the
    Lim guy.

    You mean the Italian military band conductor?
    He has been dead for a long time, who cares?

    RMCR consists largely of written messages.

    Only "largely"?

    You have a giant trail of angry, negative messages,
    so the hypocrisy of the above post reeks to high
    heaven.

    ROTFL! No one in this ng posts more negatively
    than you do. You just provided fresh proof.

    Plus all those other soloists whose names you garble in trusty mental institution fashion - most of whom are alive, which you said warrants apologies (as if any of these people read RMCR - again, well within mental institution parameters).
