Do you go to many live concerts these days, Herman? Plenty of good music in the Netherlands.
As soon as Lahav Shani has served out his second term with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, which he revitalised after the chaotic Gergiev era, he will move to the Munich Philharmonic starting 2026.

Well, that's very smart of you.
However it has not occurred to you that many RMCR members are sick of this renlentless "intentional rhetorical excess" - calling people antisemites because they say a non-Jewish performer can play his instrument, for instance? Talking about violence

You're just lying, like you always do.
When DK said Isabelle Faust couldn't play the violin, she was off pitch and screechy, all I said was she is an excellent violinist.
excessively blinkered and stupid.His violin goddess is ... Isabelle Faust. OMG!
Faust is not really my "goddess" - I don't do idolizing - however here is the excellent performance of the Bach C major solo sonata, condemmed by DK as "nasty and screechy".
It's like hearing American teenagers complaining about food that is not MacDonald's. Or Trump for that matter.
Not everone performs Bach with the fulsome Russian school tone DK demands. It makes sense that violinists don't do this, because JSBach was not a Russian from the early 1900s. This is the problem of these socvalled "strong opinions". They're

Excellent concert, warmly applauded. And

I couldn't care less about conductors.
The murderer here was Isabelle Faust.

it sounded pretty impressive to
me. What's your beef with it?
I'm happy to return to violinists, though. This thread sparked off my thread on the Bach solo violin works and Dan gave me some good tips. I've spent hours listening to violinists. This happened to co-incide with some changes I made to my sound systemwhich improved the sound of the treble and that of violins, so it's been a rewarding journey. And it's led me beyond Faust to violinists like KW Chung, Aaron Rosand, Gidon Kremer, Edinger and more which I wouldn't have listened to otherwise.
well, my memory was not that bad.
Bob Harper introduced a link to a concert by Klaus Makela and Isabelle Faust, saying he liked the Brahms they'd been playing.
This raised the ire of DK, who hates both Makela for being young, and Faust for being non-Jewish or something.
Isabelle Faust, one of the more sought after violinists of her generation is called a "murderer" (the violent rhetoric is really nauseating),
and her tone is supposedly screechy and "woobly" -
I'd say DKs English is "woobly", but what can one expect? It leads me to think that some people just can't hear pitch properly.

Faust's control of the instrument is impeccable. I play the violin and she's not screechy or wobbly. This is just all made-up stuff.
It's like DK saying he wouldn't pay a whole roster of top conductors "a penny".
It's narcissism. "Nobody's better than me, even though all I do is watch youtube all day."

Well, I know I promised Todd to cease my lecturing about proper behavior, so instead of repeating my homilies I have a few comments and suggestions:
1. Calling someone an antisemite is a vile accusation. Herman is right to object strongly!
2. But Dan delights in being outrageous and provocative. He is certainly not going to change!
3. Frank is consistently rational, but many folks here are... not quite as rational!
4. Despite all our bickering, we all share a great love for music and a fascination with appreciating different performances!
5. So, I very humbly request that Herman avoid as much as possible pointing out the outrageousness of Dan's general comments - and be more tolerant in general of the breaches of proper decorum that have been known to occur here.
6. We also all should appreciate Frank's willingness to try to help...
7. Speaking for myself, I don't mind discussion that is.. lively. But for the health of the group - and benefit of the hordes of silent people who follow RMCR but don't post, could we please start OT threads for nonmusical topics? I'm going to revive aprevious one which could be used for us to discuss Antisemitism (and I won't have to rehash *my* opinions which are there).
8. Music has been - and will always be - a key part of my life - and RMCR has been very valuable for me - so thank you all who participate!!

A "stuffed suit" is basically a white collar worker who is not
productive. He puts on his suit every day, goes to work, and at best, accomplishes nothing. There are such people. Most of them were not stuffed suits from the get go, it took them a while to get that way.
Abusive bosses, burn out, declining energy with age, boredom, lack of advancement, whatever. Having worked in a quasi-governmental
bureaucracy for 28 years, I knew many such people. Usually upper level managers. The company usually weeded them out eventually. These were
people who lived to (as they saw it) glorify the organization. These
are often people who don't know that integrity is more important than loyalty. I succeeded in my career there despite having little chauvinism
to the organization. I had enough self pride to want to do a good job
and enjoyed the work That was all. I played football in high school
and was possibly the only team member who really didn't care if we won
or lost. I just loved to play. Of course, I was the only Jew on the
team and many of the other guys "lovingly" called me the "Hebe." Maybe
that contributed to my indifference to winning.

Coming across as a sticky beak, and apparent paragon of virtue, is not a good thing in general, especially when poking into longstanding arguments that are best left alone to the participants. This is my advice.

"The suits" has a somewhat different meaning than
"a stuffed suit". "The suits" usually refers to C or E
level execs, or lawyers, or bean counters. "Stuffed
suits" can be at any level. The phrase describes
attitude and/or (in)capabilities rather than level
in an organization.
I still find it surprising anyone who retired after a
"disstinguished career" has not encountered this
phrase during their "disstinguished career" on

Relatedly, does a stuffed suit know he is a stuffed
