Does anyone have or know how to obtain CB's schedule for the
1996-97 season? Also, could someone who attended the recital
at Orange County on September 20, 1995 say something about it?
(The place was sold out before I had a chance to purchase a
ticket, so I missed my opportunity.)
I discovered this site only a few days ago and had just finished
reading through the various responses. I find some of the
things contributed by Mr. R. Baltimore very objectionable.
Regardless of whether we are fans of Ms. Bartoli or not, I
think it was rather obvious he showed a particularly vehement
animosity towards her. Some of the statements, which I'm sure
need not be reminded to others, are just downright spiteful
and malicious. I, myself, would welcome constructive and
rational critism, but it seems that Mr. Baltimore was more
concerned about impressing me with his vocabulary than
providing support for his claims. Could he be a little less
verbose and more specific when he tells me to "just look at
the physical/pedagogical/scientific results"? I'm not an
expert, by far, on voice technique and the refernces he cites
would probably be beyond my capability to understand, so I ask
him to be indulgent on less enlightened individuals like myself
and expound on this a little more.
I would also appreciate it if he would cease the personal
attacks on Ms. Bartoli. I know that he has every right to say
whatever he pleases, but I wish he would stick to what he
claims are his intentions-that is, objective and well-founded
critisms only.
After checking the dates of those correspondences, which goes
back to May and June of '95, I hope my response was not too
late, and I apologise in advance if I had just reopened an
already obsolete topic with this entry.
